doesn't mean you should.
I am walking a very thin line at the moment. And while it worries me, I still walk it because I wish to.
May people ask the question..."Can I?" Can I be better at my game? Can I create something wonderfully dangerous? Can I risk it all?
They rarely ask the second part of that line of questions. "Should I?" because 'should I' means you have to look at all the possibilities, not just the outcome you seek. It makes you take responsibility for the actions of 'can I'. Sometimes that is a fine thing, with a very positive out come. Other times, it is not.
Think about it for a moment. Now we know we can clone cells. Should we? We can build amazing weapons. Should we? We have the ability to do many great things. Should we? What do we give up if we do? What do we loose if we don't?
'Can I' and 'should I' are amazing things. You can apply it to very personal, private matters; or it can go global and examine issues that effect all of man kind. Right now...I'm examining something private.
I know I can do this. The better question is should I.

this is a risk vs reward debate -never easy and no guarantee of the outcome. but the rewards could be great or you could lose everything. you have to decide is it worth it, understanding the consequences and be prepared to accept them.
It's easy to risk, when you are the only one you worry about. It is much harder to risk others as well.
