I salute the guy for getting out.
One of the things that irritates me and alarms me about modern American society is this stifling obsession with safety. 24x7, we must be guarded, educated and protected, often by government laws and decrees, to the point all of that has been built into a cage around people.
It has seeped into every walk of life, into all ages from cradle to grave, and across the spectrum of government at all levels.
Bad things happen to people. Always have. Always will.
One of my favorite sayings is: “A ship in a harbor is a safe ship, but that is not what ships are for.”
I say: “A human inside a prison built of safety is a safe human, but that is not what humans are for.”
We are on the same page again.
Well said very well said
He traded a safe prison for time in God’s nature.
He lived a better life than many.

I agree. Even cars are watching over you today. My new one keeps suggesting I take a break, warns me to put on my headlights and seatbelt, and has a variety of chimes to tell me a door is open, there’s another car crossing behind me, etc.
If the darn thing could only warn me there’s a deer ahead on the dark road I drive, all that would be worth it.
