what is all this about my personal beliefs/fears now?
i was merely concerned about the physical/emotional safety of your family, which i take to be a serious matter, no? (especially in the case of your children) |
I can't imagine how terrible the world would be if everyone let their behavior be influenced by fear of violence like you're advocating.
The only way you break taboos is by breaking them. Even if it is true that it is dangerous, that is no excuse to cower in fear. The correct response is to courageously break the taboo, paving the way for others.
Having said that, I personally think your fear is totally and completely unfounded. I also think that by dwelling on fears like this you are attracting them into your life... what is the point of living if it's just to survive until you die of old age? That's living for death.
