Risk, like music, makes us feel alive. It encourages us to coalesce out of the void, to bounce off the rock of inaction and into the arms of a trampoline.
Taking chances can be a wonderful habit design. Never satisfied, the only precision becomes the decision to experiment. The work is trying to figure out how all the errors will add up.
The best way to verify that you are alive is by checking if you like variations.
