All risk is unnecessary unless you wish to progress your life or society.

When a society moves from freedom to safety, that indicates the start of the decline in that society.

Totally understandable however, as once a society has peaked it need not worry about pushing boundaries or risk.

As a father you are doing your job, but as a child you are not going to live a full or satisfying life unless you make your father uneasy with the risks you take.
