#16A CULTURE OF FEAR
I
view society, to some extent, as threatening my security and
well-being—so I take precautions to minimize risks.
I often ask “Will someone hurt me if I do this?” Far from
wanting to interact with and trust them, I generally fear strangers,
especially those who seem clearly different.
I lock the door to my house at night. I own a gun to protect
myself and loved ones should the need arise.
I try to align myself with those who have power.
I believe those who break laws should expect harsh
punishment—especially if they are poor or powerless. |
