Relative risk vs absolute risk

We all need to ponder, right?
And if we do, make a choice or the choice with lesser risks, right?

Sitting besides a tiger is risky
Unless you know the tiger...

and even then!

What is my point?

Our life is full of choices and many of those imply some risks.

Some examples

  • Loosing or quitting your job
  • Driving without license or drunk
  • Cheating on partners
  • Eating unhealthy
  • Gambling
  • Addiction
  • ...

Yes, you got it, those choices are toxic and risky.

Where does relative and absolute come in?

In the comparison and consequences...

Thank you for adding your understanding, likes, shares and comments

PS :

An unusual post? Yes, ponder...

Ponder long Ponder wrong.

This happens sometimes because
as humans we need answers to everything. Faith is what we need.

The girl appears to be happy sitting next to the tiger. What do we really know about this photo?

Is it staged to attract attention?

Knowledge and passion help us to make choices despite the risks.

For example, I have stumbled upon some really nasty reviews about Wealthy Affiliate this week.

These reviews are trying to deter others from joining because the risk of quitting later is high

This doesn't bother me because what I know and tbe positive feelings about Wealthy Affiliate keep me grounded.

Risks are taken now for rewards later.

Yes, being grounded is the message
And yes, i believe the picture is photoshopped also

So, no risk

🌱🌴👍

The key will be to make wise decisions that cause the least possible damage..

Yes...
Not easy
🌼

It isn't always easy to tell which choices are risky and which are not. We just need to be aware.

Prudence
allways

I think you are right to say that it is about making the right choice, but you always should, it is a matter of how you train yourself to think. I invite you to read my post on creative thinking.

I will
Thank you for letting me know
❤️

Fleeky, your usual great stuff. There certainly are some relative and absolute choices.
* Don't put your finger in an electric socket
* Don't put your hand on a hot stove
* Don't put your tongue on a frosty piece of metal

You will suffer the consequences... yes, life is full of choices.
Great article.

Ponder indeed. All relative to the risk and what we are prepared to do. The reward, as stated by Richard, bears relevance but only to the individual. A reward for one would be worth the risk but to another, it might not be.
Ponder, ponder, ponder.

Thanks Janie, hope your weekend has been outstanding.

Wow
Yes!

Love the photo of the tiger and the girl, thanks for sharing those are good examples of risks in life.

Thank you...!

Reward should be part of the equation. What level of reward would be associated with differing levels of risk? High risk, low reward - not for me. High risk, high reward ,- may be. Low risk, high reward - yes!

Yes... awesome
Kind of comparison, no?
😉

Maximum of result
With minimum of effort

Not measuring effort, but level of risk.

😴😜

YES!

You are right Fleeky, but I would prefer to choose calculated risk rather than lesser risk.

Me as well... unless others are implied

It's good to have understanding of this as we should learn to take care of ourselves specifically to real risk!

Yes... so true
Or others...

I tend to agree with Djohardi. I prefer calculated risks atleast you get an idea of what is probable and this way you might avoid some pitfalls.

Yes... indeed so!
