“Deciding whether or not to trust a person is like deciding whether or not to climb a tree because you might get a wonderful view from the highest branch or you might simply get covered in sap and for this reason many people choose to spend their time alone and indoors where it is harder to get a splinter.”
– Lemony Snicket

I would have to agree with you. I myself have seen the most amazing of views, while at the same time have gotten quite sappy and icky. We all need to risk it though.
Can’t be argued. 🙂
