There are people who are important to us, often we want them to play a bigger role in our lives, occupy a bigger part of our "selves". But we balk at the thought of telling them this, mostly in fear of losing what we already have as we reach for more, some writer once said through one of his characters that "as we reach for more we drop what we already had under our arms." It is not a fear of repercussions but a healthy sense of preservation, but does this make us cowards?
Let us say for the sake of argument that it does. It is cowardly to keep quiet when you are not at peace, but again it is not cowardly to maintain what you already have and follow the maxim of "a bird in hand being worth 2 in the bush."
This is called the crossroads, a decision making wrought with hazards but has to be made.
We often know what we want, but do we dare?

Some times back,I read a book whose title was something like "How to Get What You Want and Want What You Have". In the book, I learnt that an individual's growth will at times greatly depend on the magnitude of risk taken. The boobk notwithstanding, it is nevertheless true; you cannot discover new land if you are afraid of losing the current shore line.
