Have you ever been in a situation in which you felt unsafe? Has your intuition ever told you, “You should get out of here”? If the answer is yes, it means you were in a risky situation.
What is risk?
Risk is the probability of damage or injury of any kind. Risk increases when the vulnerability is higher, which means that, if we are ready to face the risk, the chances of being hurt will diminish.
Does risk happen only when we feel unsafe? Not always.
For instance, if you don’t know how to swim, jumping into a deep pool is obviously not a good idea.
vulnerability: n. the quality of being easily harmed
