Without doubt,
it's necessary and reasonable to take precaution decisions against the
potential dangerous people around a person. One makes this decision based on
past events and the characteristics of the opposite. One takes precautions to
prevent future events that may bring clouds and unfavorable events to him or
her. One
should be extremely cautious in making choices around their possible enemies.
Even if it may just be a false alarm, it is always sagacious for one to take
decisive and preemptive actions to protect themselves.
The history has
provided sufficient examples to prove this. At the end of World War II, China’s
party leader of the Republic of China Mao ZeDong had the highest power of any
power in China at the time. Mao knew that period of time will be very short, he
knew he wanted to be an emperor, thus he took actions to hold onto his power by
carrying out events that would let the time ‘pause’ at the age of time. Another
country took immediate movements. USA learn from the 9.11 twin tower attack, so
they held many plans and movements to prevent another National tragedy from
stepping under into the American roof.
Preventing
tragedies and danger from occurring does not only exist in the real world. In
the Greek creation epic, Cronus was poisoned by his son Zeus and wife Rhea for
Zeus and Rhea imagined what Cronus would do to his ‘children’ when he finds out
that his children hated him and were getting stronger and stronger than what
Cronus originally meant for them to be. Zeus and Rhea knew what Cronus did to
Cronus’ brothers and their babies: Cronus killed them and trapped them for the
fear of losing his throne. Here we can see not only one but two generations of
gods taking precautionary actions to ensure their own safety and power. Another
example would be the famous Harry Potter Series character: Lord Valdemort.
After hearing the prediction from the witch who foreseen a boy born in June
into one of the powerful families of wizards will be the cause of the downfall
and end of Valdemort, he went and took actions in seeing that no boys born in
June will live that long to kill He Who Must Not Be Named.
The society has
always been dangerous and cunning from various subjects, it is just different
as different ages pass and come. Even now our society is insecure place with
traps and liars lurking around, also filled with worse things that one does not
want to even think about. In the end, and always, there is no way of determining
absolute safety. The only way is to be on guard to enemies, and have an open
heart to friends. Better be safe than sorry don’t you think?
