To Protect Yourself

A former Seal Team member tells us one of the BASIC things we need to know in order to protect ourselves. Dom Raso, who has killed many “bad guys,” puts it simply: “Get your nose out of your phone.” But it’s a little wider than that. It’s “spacial awareness.” Knowing what’s going on around you. Not everybody runs into power poles while walking and looking at their tiny screens while the crooks line up on them. But most people still pay no attention to what’s happening around them and are thus surprised when they’re accosted by criminals and robbed, beaten, and sometimes killed. Personally, I’ve been trained to observe everything around me, and that has mostly kept me safe during my 76 years of life. But one of the most important things you can do IS stay aware of what’s going on around you, and never go where danger might await. (The Blaze)
