Feeling selfish

Jewelry Discussion

Hello, I am glad that you are staying until after Christmas. I hope
that you can work it out so that you can work until you no longer
want to. One of the points that I was trying to make is simple.
Everyone has a choice to focus on fear and they have a choice to
focus on not having fear. This can be really hard, it seems that it
is easier for most of us to focus on the negative what if’s in our
lives than the positive ones.

I was trying to make the point that we can control certain things in
our lives and those things that we can’t control we have to learn to
live with. If we are still afraid we have to ask ourselves why.

Yes, you can choose to feel more afraid if you wish than the folks
who work at the beauty parlor, but… a few years back in South
Carolina not far from where I live, someone walked into a beauty shop
and just murdered the woman there. No one was ever caught that I
heard of. Bad things happen everday all day long. Yes, the violence
you are talking about was real, the stores were robbed. So do what
you can to protect yourself.

I was trying to be a little humerous about the food. You have to
admit that folks in this country eat so junk that as a population we
are killing ourselves at much higher rates than acts of violence. by
the way, I am 51 years old, it was supposed to be a little bit of a
joke.

Good luck Dennis

It is just as easy to be assualted in your home with less potential
of help. It is also a lot scarier since it "hits home’ and you can’t
separate the assualf from your personal space.

I suggest you take the advice of setting up a good block system, and
suggesting that he beef up his security, - guard dogs are available
for rent in some cities. Ask the local police if they do or can
recommend someone to do a physical security consultation on both his
shop and both of your homes. (You might get it for the shop, home is
probably a matter of self education) You will help both yourself and
him.

Then later get some other people together and learn some self
defense. It should not only cover physical security, but tactics for
negotiation, auto and home safety. It will give you the confidence we
all need to face the realities of urban life. It might also be good
to get your kids involved.
