Truth Vs Comfort

[Jonn]

This one above^^^^^
That being said , There may come a defining point as any self aware human , might have to come face to face with , As one ages It may come at a cost . PTSD or medical issues .
That in order to sustain life . One must give up certain measures of Liberty . Or Perish in the process . That might be at times the way to maintain, the liberties left to us to access.
Its the Perish part , that does make it hard as you become more aware .

Let us sheep unite!
The brotherhood of sheep forever! <baaah>

Totally ride with @Neonatal RRT on this. I ran around outside by myself or my school friends. Encountered a pedo following me and my tween girlfriend around Frisco playland, walked up to a worker running the carnival ride, and asked him to call the police. They showed up and dropped me and my friend at her house. Didn't even tell my mom. Worked as a teller as first job after HS, my manager hit panic button, and he was scared of a homeless person. Police team showed up, and l walked straight up to front doors and let them know it wasn't a big deal. Was totally yelled at by policeman saying that wasn't l aware their guns were drawn? That was life back then. You learned or earned your street smarts if you lived in a big city. There was no comfort, just daily survival. Your parents didn't hold your hand or baby you.

Uhmmmm...... Not sure I recall ,was their a revolutionary War that occurred , Wait was there other Wars that may have occurred ? Was there any reason to have freedom to be from unwanted influence. or unsolicited influence .
Am a believer in Stoicism , and also in defining boundries though .

Per above repeated Quote by Judge bia Ben Franklin:
Another "brutal, (and timeless) truth":

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

The problem is that different people define "essential liberty" differently.

Also, since you can't have everything, different people tend to have different ideas of what they're willing to give up in order to get something else.
