Freedom is a senior goal to safety. There can never be complete safety, what with storms, volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards etc. And it could be argued that without freedom there is no life, for what is life but choosing a path and following it? Without being free to do that, do you have a life?
After the last two year when suicides climbed steeply, obviously many decided, “No.” in answer to that question.
Let’s more of us learn from that mistake and ensure it is never repeated. Never relinquish a freedom for a promised safety or security. It is a deadly trade-off.
