I believe that every person, male and female, needs to be in a protective mode at all times of alertness to potential danger. The world is full of potential attacks, potential disasters.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never knew how protective I was until I had my own child. I'm already thinking about intruders coming into the house and what our escape route would be.
It is frightening that in recent years such an increase has occurred in acts of terrorism, which have even reached peaceful countries such as ours. And as a 'remedy', more and more security forces are established to protect the lives of individual men and women.
It's especially important since September 11 for people to be trained for the unexpected. We want to try to make sure people are safe.
When we are afraid we ought not to occupy ourselves with endeavoring to prove that there is no danger, but in strengthening ourselves to go on in spite of the danger.
You have to protect yourself at all times. What goes around comes around.
It's a fact that people who are in a weakened position, whether physically or mentally, have this perception of the outer world as threatening. Everything that is unexpected or unknown is seen as a potential danger.
In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.
There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
One is not exposed to danger who, even when in safety is always on their guard.
