What is fear? I live in South Africa a country where the headlines in the media are dominated with stories about violent crime. Everyday I am bombarded by news items that describe terrible abuses and acts of violence. My family is a victim of such a crime, I will not go into the details because I want to move on and forget. Its a way of coping, I choose not to think about the facts. When will we be free to live our lives without a fear of stopping at a intersection at night and being hijacked, and killed for our cars. When will we be able to walk in the street at night without a fear of being murdered for a watch.
I love this country, it is amazing and beautiful. But I am starting to think that its time to move on and leave. I have a real fear for myself and my family. Maybe I'm overreacting? I certainly hope so. But do I have to wait till something even more terrible happens and forces me to leave? Or should I run like so many are doing so that I can prevent harm coming to me and my family? I just don't know what to do. We have a life here, and have worked very hard to make a home. But I am at a point in my life where I have to make a decision, one that will plant us firmly here or one that has us moving onto greener pastures.
I know it will not be easy either way. And I don't have to choose right now. But the crime situation is certainly a huge factor to be considered.

I think its the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah. I find this video quit fascinating, although I have found little info on it online.
