Risk

Risk is the possibility of pain of one flavour or another. Each event has a face, and you evaluate these events by comparing them to an average face or average event, and deviation from this form or face registers as stress. Events are just as material and “living” as objects are, but they exist as a cross or interpositional entity. Their “bodies” are formed by the combination of beings or objects involved in the event. Distress arises from misunderstanding the body language of events.

Risks approached with respect behave as allies. Events have motivations, and risk management is just diplomacy. People manage risk badly because they fail diplomatically.
