Because of where this society has gone and the world around us, we need to look at our environments and never assume we are completely safe. We can never control the actions of those around us. It is because of the uncertainties within other people that we need to always be on the lookout around us for anything out of the ordinary. Also, we should not assume that if something tragic was to happen, someone else will show up to take care of things and we don't have to worry about it. In our society today, with all of our luxuries, people get too complacent and too caught up in every day life and forget there there are people around them they know nothing about who may snap at any minute if they already haven't. The people in traffic around us, the people in the bank with us, in the grocery store with us, in the library, in public bathrooms, convenient stores, apartment complexes, on school campuses. We are surround by too many people to be totally safe. That is where we have to take our safety into our own hands on a daily basis. Know your surroundings, watch the people around you for strange activity, always have two exit plans in case someone snaps. And then when you've done all that and you hope you are prepared for anything to happen, make sure you are and if you're the first person in the way of the person that just snapped, be prepared to move on to the afterlife and whatever it may hold. Because, no matter how prepared we may be, there is no guarantee it will be enough for ourselves, but it could be enough for those around you who are just as innocent.
