Security

Tonight’s a sad night in Stockholm, and as Krista’s theme for the Friday challenge is ‘security‘, it was hard for me not to change the subject to another meaning of that word. So I know I’m off topic here, but I can’t help it.

Last December in Antibes, a stone’s throw from Nice, I spotted that installation in a window. Obviously somebody who had had to suffer from the deadly July attacks. Very sad.

Putting people behind bars isn’t always the answer. It doesn’t always work.

Neither does force. Even though it might still protect us most of the time and give us a sense of security.

At best, we can put our blinkers on and keep working. This is what we’ve been doing here for 3 years.
