I got a phone call this morning, from a company selling security, and it got me to thinking...
What is security? For me it is safety, comfort, the sure knowledge that I can deal with whatever life throws at me. The bottomline is it's Peace of Mind.
Does that mean that I will never have to deal with life's uncertainties? Certainly not! Does it mean that if I install a security system I wont have to worry about crime? No!
What it does mean, is that, whatever life throws at me, I'll handle it! I may not like it, but I am equal to it. I may not enjoy it, but I can overcome it. Whatever happens, The Power is within me.
If that's the case, then I have to ask, what is the best way to combat crime?
Instead of spending money to put up bars, and alarm systems that fence us in and limit our freedom, wouldn't we be better served focussing our time, money and efforts on eliminating crime and the motivation behind it?
If everyone who bought a security system invested their time, money and efforts in creating an anti-crime strategy, what would happen?
Do I have the answers? No!
Do I have a point worth considering? I think so! What are your thoughts?
