What does this woman teach us about defending ourselves against random violence?

1. You must accept that danger exists and that it can happen to you. This is the foundational core of spiritual fitness and the first step in taking proactive steps to protect yourself and your loved ones. If you live in a fantasyland that nothing bad can happen because nothing bad has happened in the past, you’re setting yourself up for a terrible letdown. This woman’s beating should give us all a wakeup call to be ready to defend ourselves.
