With No Plan Nothing Could Go Wrong

With No Plan Nothing Could Go Wrong

I just watched the movie "Parasite." The father is a person who hates to take risks and his daughter is not happy with him. He says to his daughter: "With No Plan Nothing Could Go Wrong." Personally, I beg to differ.

Even if you sit in a room with no doors and windows for the rest of your life, something could go wrong. What if you get sick? What if you trip over the chair? What if you go NUTS (which will happen in just a few months)?

With No Plan, you'll live in perpetual shouldas and couldas. With no risks you'll never feel the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. The latter is why many people don't take risks. I say, someone who never takes a risk is living half a life.

You see, almost all risks will never kill you (unless the risk is jumping out of an airplane). Risking a divorce, because you're unhappy, might get you to lose half or more of your money. Nobody has died from losing half of their money (can you spell Kenny Felderstein). Changing your job, because you want to do something that's more interesting, might turn out to be a bad move, but you won't die and you'll be more proud of yourself for taking the risk.

In my opinion, the people who never plan or take a risk, are doing so because of their fear of failure. I say, so what if you fail? You'll still have friends and loved ones. If you fail and you lose your friends and love ones - fuck -em. They weren't the people you should be hanging out with in the first place. Failure is a learning experience. Most importantly, failure will not kill you.

You see, living a life where you believe With No Plan Nothing Could Go Wrong is ignoring the fact that your life is only a few years long. It's ignoring the fact that your potential will never be realized. It's ignoring the fact that might never get what you deserve and that's:

HAPPINESS
