In the previous part we took a safari around the rainforest called ‘RISK’. We didn’t get down and explore the jungle further than our guide let us. So let us take a leap of faith, tighten out boots, and take a first aid kit and move on to the next conjecture in this issue.
Now people are as different in character as the number of animals found in the dense rainforest. Some may be vicious (Anaconda, tarantula etc) and some may be docile (anteater, parakeet etc). Similarly there are Daredevils who are willing to risk it all and on the other hand there are People who shy away at every chance they can get ; giving redundant excuses…..
Let us draw a thin line to separate these extremes and look at them at the same time:
