This text explores the fundamental nature of human existence through the lens of risk and the inevitability of its conclusion. The central thesis posits that life, by its very essence, cannot be founded on a risk-free principle, as existence itself constitutes the highest possible form of hazard. The author highlights the paradoxical endeavor of modern society to eliminate all dangers and construct an illusion of absolute safety, despite the fact that the ultimate outcome of every life is its cessation. This "bad end" is viewed as a one-hundred-percent guarantee that renders every living moment a risky undertaking. The reflection encourages a re-evaluation of our relationship with uncertainty and an acceptance of the fact that vulnerability and finitude are integral components of the vital process. Rather than fruitlessly searching for a risk-free state, we should acknowledge that risk is not an external threat but a foundational element of life. This philosophical insight compels us to view human destiny as a continuous movement where the only certain point is the eventual termination of existence.
