But that's when they get you!!!!!!!!
I say this seriously and jokingly. I realize we will try to live in safer places so that we don't have to be constantly on guard, but at the same time, how many times have we seen where people were shocked at something that happened in their safe communities?
I absolutely agree. And whilst it's been easy to relax a little rather than being on guard all the time when in public places, that awareness is something I sometimes wish I'd retained a little more. However, the level of awareness I had back in my home town was one of constantly and actively scanning for potential threats. These days I rarely find myself in places I feel require that level of diligence (though it does happen).
There's a balance to be struck, and I think that's partly dependent on the social environment we find ourselves in at the given moment.
