In my own community I keep hearing people say “We can’t live in fear forever.” And here’s the thing. vulnerable people have in fact been living in fear forever. Ask Uyghurs living in China, for example, if they live in fear of the Chinese authorities. Yes, they do. Will they do so for their whole life? Yes, they will. Because living in fear of the Chinese authorities is the way that they stay alive.
Yes, Many people deny the reality that from the moment we are conceived we are never safe. Some are sheltered or inexperienced enough to have never confronted that fact ~ until the day reality kicks them in the teeth. Far better to face the reality of many probable dangers and fearlessly make wise, sensible choices based upon real risks.
