To me, this is a matter of balance and weighing up risks. I used to do things which make me shudder now in retrospect, for example hitch hiking, camping out by myself in the desert miles from anywhere.
I don't walk anywhere at night except short distances from my car to a local venue and always have my phone on me. I realised recently how safe I keep my life when I ended up on a dark deserted street in an area I didn't know when the person I was with walked a long way on ahead (I walk slowly now because of heart and lung conditions) and was quite nervous until I finally caught up with him, knowing I wouldn't be able to run or physically fight back if in danger.
Is this wrong?
