Revision index: ADDED
Princess Peach is kidnapped and taken away to Bowser’s castle - again. Mario goes on a quest to rescue her by himself, and miraculously defeats Bowser with three jumps - again.
Good, nice-looking guy beats bad, mean-looking guy; this stereotypical,
repetitive theme has been present in video games, movies, cartoons, and
novels for as long as I can remember. In reality, people with evil
intentions walk our streets every day, and have learnt to disguise
themselves behind smiling masks. It is no longer a simple matter to just
avoid dangerous looking people, so you must be wary of your
surroundings and take whatever actions that may make you feel safer.
Just
like the saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover,” don’t judge a
person based off of their appearance. It is frightening to think of, but
criminals have developed various different methods to hide themselves
from plain sight. Let's say you (a girl) is sitting at a bar, and a
smiling, happy-go-lucky guy walks over and offers to buy you a drink. He
initiates a harmless little chat with you as you both sip your
margaritas. He suddenly points towards the stage where a tomato was
thrown at the singer. You turn behind you to witness the chaos ensued,
laughing. In the seconds you turned your gaze away from your drink, he
plops in some invisible powder, a.k.a. date rape drugs. You can imagine
what happens afterwards. The girl may not have actually trusted the man,
but she let her guard down since he was so friendly. This is a common
story that many women have fallen victim to. You cannot expect every
friendly person you come across has a goodwill. In fact, most criminals
assume that roll in order to get close to their targets. If you ever
feel something is wrong, don’t dismiss the feeling; act on it, stop it.
Everyday,
stories of theft, foul play, murder, and other horrible deeds show up
in the media, revealing humans’ twisted nature. So many of these news
stories appear that we are no longer shocked to hear a man charged for
killing another man. Whenever I hear these gruesome stories, what
surprises me most is not actually what happened, but who
did it. Sure I can understand a random bystander unfortunately getting
hit by a drunk driver, and even a man assaulting his own wife due to
marital problems has become common, but what about brothers killing their own sister? Mothers killing their own newborn baby? Students killing their own teachers and classmates? These are all true stories that have happened before in our "normal" world. It is just outrageous and
sickening how criminals reason for the sinful acts they committed.
Now that you are well informed of the dangers anyone
can be to you, what is the safest thing you can do? Sure you can hide
in your parent’s home for the rest of your life, but that is not what I
am encouraging. I am not trying to give you a phobia of people and make
you doubt everyone around you; rather, live your life how you always
have, just be careful of who you put your trust in. Follow your gut
feeling, and if ever your intuition tells you something is off, take
action and make it stop.
“ Love all, Trust a few ” - William Shakespeare.
