Peace and safety are not synonymous terms, nor do they go together like peas and carrots. It appears to me that our modern age possesses a perception that humanity cannot have peace unless security under every possible scenario is guaranteed.
The joy of chasing reward, which necessitates risk, is eroding under the weight of a global chain gang, where conformity certifies the safety of all. The internet, with its social media platforms, was once a place where we expanded our social and friendly interactions. Now our phones are our chaperones and monitoring masters, tracing every move, gathering data, keeping us in check. What was a communication device, has become a security device.
