I am reminded of a line in a film called “Miracle at St. Anna”, from the book by James McBride. The line says it all when it comes to what happens to people and nations when we have it too easy. We concern ourselves with many things that we can not control. Here is the line paraphrased.
“There is no control in life…wherever you go, wherever you hide, there’s risk… People pay for control (seat belts, safety devices, and so forth) even when they have none. Safety is the greatest risk of all, because safety leaves no room for miracles, and miracles are the only sure thing in life.”
