Protection

All our lives, especially during our younger years, we are told the police are there to protect us. We're encouraged to give our power away to police protection. But it hasn't always been that way.

Before the mid-1800s, people were expected to protect themselves and each other. In many countries people were even legally required to pursue and attempt to apprehend criminals. The notion of a police force in those days was unthinkable.

Self reliance is a boon and a skill, a need and a necessity, a challenge and a benefit. Healthy self-reliance and self-protection is another key to a gratifying and productive life. A life free of some of the constraints that could pin us down, a life free to explore and discover all that is available to us (if we choose to go for it).

We have to live with the consequences of our choices and actions, but that has been and is always the case. At least we can feel good that we have met life's challenges head on. We have fought a good fight when the need arose, dug in when we needed to, and kept on going when times got a little rough.
