Russian Roulette

You may have seen movies where they play this game with someone trying to get them to divulge information. Each time they add a bullet, they increase the risk of it going off. The more bullets they put in, the scarier it gets.

I am sure that none of you would actually be crazy enough to play this literal game. But the truth is, many of us play it every day.

Think about it. Each day we live there is some risk. Even if we do things safely and do everything that we can to monitor our health; life, itself, still has some risk. Healthy people still have heart attacks and get cancer. Safe drivers still get into car accidents.

The key is, don’t add more bullets. The more you add, the greater the chances you have of experiencing a disastrous result. Here are a few bullets that people, (maybe you) add to the gun and increase their risk.

1. I don’t need my safety goggles; I am just weed eating a little patch.

2. If I am careful, I can text and drive.

3. I don’t have to worry about that red flag, I am a good swimmer.

4. I don’t need scaffolding; that old wooden ladder does just fine.

5. I’m not having that mammogram; they hurt.

6. All my relatives smoked, and they never got cancer. 

7. I don’t go to doctors. If it ain’t broke; don’t fix it. That’s my motto.

As I was saying, please don’t play the game. Chances are good that pretty soon, you will LOSE!
