"It
has been said about self-defense training that half of what we learn is
preventative, and we practice it in hopes of never having to use the
other half."
All activities like driving a car, crossing a busy
road, walking through the parking lot at night, entail some risk. We
all have different attitudes toward risk. At one end of the scale is
refusing to engage in an activity by exaggerating the risk involved.
At the other end is engaging in very risky activities while refusing
to take any precautions. Neither of these attitudes are useful for
living an empowered life. What is useful is to accurately assess the
risks involved, take whatever precautions make sense, and live as
fully as possible. Following these guidelines will not guarantee
your safety, but will minimize your availability to an
assailant/ miscreant under different situations.
