Play With The High Rollers

Love is held in very high regard because of the amount you risk on buying into it. It's the ultimate gamble. Your first love therefore is always the highest stakes, the largest odds and the venture into the unknown where inexperience lets you bet more that you can afford. Very few people win that bet and have their first love last, and those that do live their lives unaware of the huge losses they could have had. Their blissful unawareness lets them risk the most, as they haven't tasted the bitter consequenses of high stakes.


The fact remains that just like each race has different horses, each love has different attributes. Millions has been made by the self-help types trying to mitigate the risk of the gamble, but they fail to acknowledge that the less you risk, the less you win when your horse comes in.


Now I'm not a gambling woman, I don't do the lotto and I don't bet on horses, but just like the gamble you take each time you get in a car that you'll survive the journey, love is a gamble that is part of life.

I believe that the safer you play it, the more you'll end up with second best, or no-one at all. Without contrast life is nothing, and thats why the first love is always remembered as the sweetest, and most tragic sometimes, because it's the biggest gamble.


Live as much as you can, and play with the high rollers.
