On the one hand, I think that the human spirit likes to strive for something higher. And risk carries a certain thrill. If we accomplish, it gives us a sense of improvement n and worth.

On the other hand, we sometimes don't assess risk well and run right into things aloof of the potential consequences, or mindlessly thinking (in our pride) we can handle whatever arises with ease.... until it's too late and we're in trouble.

Why don't we learn? Maybe we do individually. But, even then, it is hard work and a comedy of errors in continual falling and getting back up to "try again."
