When you think about it
Today was one of those days where I laid on my bed and just allowed my mind to wander about, and it was during that wandering that I started to think about people who don't like to take risks in life, without realising that everyday we wake up to leave our home is a risk itself.
I began to think about the many risks we take everyday and don't realize it, and I got scared with each point that I thought of, and trust me when I say that there are a lot, especially when you live in a country like mine where a lot of processes don't get followed, and no one cares until someone eventually gets hurt.
A good example are the restaurants and fast-food joints we have here. Anyone, literally could wake up one morning and just start selling food in their backyard, with no safety and health procedure being followed. Over here, one of my neighbours literally just rented a shop earlier this year and started cooking, no license or permits required. As long as your food taste great, everyone is fine with it.
And then there's the case of the barbers. Over here, a lot of these barbers would hardly sterilise their tools that they use to work. If you're not observant enough, they literally could just start cutting your hair with the same clipper they used to cut the previous guy's hair without disinfecting it.
A lot of people don't really realize how dangerous and risky this can be, the many infections and diseases they could contact from this, and many of them don't care. Personally, I feel everyone should have a personal clipper, but if you feel like you don't have enough money to get one for yourself, then the least you can do for yourself is to pay attention when cutting your hair and ensure that the clipper and every other tool that will be used by the barber is properly sterilised.
There are many more situations like this where we take risks in our day to day life (most especially when you live in a country where no one cares) that we just don't realize it because that risk has become so normalised that we no longer see it as what it is.
N.B : Although these risks that I mentioned are the ones I'm familiar with in my country (so you might not be familiar with them in yours) due to its lack of safety in these areas, I'm sure every country has some kind of every day to day risks that has become so normalised, that you no longer see it as a risk anymore.
You are not safe in your place also because building can collapse anytime. I think there are certain ricks that's can't be avoided.
