I recently moved to a very dangerous place from one of the safest places in America. I've noticed changes in my behavior, and also the behavior of those around me. There is almost a palpable brackish area where trust meets distrust. I've always been a resilient cooperator, so I hope I can withstand the waves that are washing over me. Some people adapt to their surroundings, and others blunder blindly forward in spite of any danger. If the ones pushing the boundary of safety to reap great rewards do well, others will emulate them. If that fruit is poisoned though, the ones watching will be more cautious. Are you the type of person who will cut down the strange fruit, and build a future of trust, safety, and dignity for all? I hope I am.
