India is feeling more and more like a prison. I don't feel free to run wild. Everything I do people tell me there is a danger, be careful, women are afraid, so afraid. Don't go out late at night on your own. Buy pepper spray, more and more stories about rape and molestation. Fear everywhere. Tonight I was told by a perfectly lovely stranger or a friend you could say, I met him in a watch shop, he took me to fix my mechanical camera and paid and refused to except money from me. All the way he told me to be careful there is danger and also that I looked like I had no fear. Why should I fear? Fear is for people who don't want to live and create their world in a 2 dimensional rectangle. So how could I trust him? It's all so stupid. Of coarse there are people you can't trust but you just have to work out who they are and try not to attract them. Try not to fear at all cost, because that way you will definitely attract them, be brave and strong, I'd say it's better to risk 100 rapes than spend your whole life in the village, not growing, not living, waiting till it's all over, fearing everything, fearing death and then finally you don't have to fear anymore because your last fearful breath has left your stone cold body.
