Our empathy continues until we finally shake off the role and snap back to reality. TV shows are no exemption, whether the daily soaps that have portrayed every single twist in the story that it can go, or reality TV such as local news. All the more do these non fictional stories make tingles in our spine, especially for terrible news that happen a few distances away from us.

The local news constantly mention of gangsters who mob of busy city stores and sack what they can. Sadly, they get away with it clean slate and no one gets to be held accountable for such unspeakable acts. And because emotions are stirred, we unconsciously fall into the shoes of those who have been robbed. When you get to shake off the though, you still feel the fear. With the news of a series of violent burglaries happening a few kilometres away from where I was, I was restless.

Having a home without pre-wired features for an immediate security systems installation, I knew I could not wait for contract signing and an installation team’s arrival. I also came across information that there are superior home security devices without the installation fuss. Easy install, do it yourself Wireless Security Systems kits were available through a helpful online resource that even had a money back guarantee. I got one installed in less than two hours, all by myself.

I have even realized that vision and hearing are not only biological, but cultural as well. For instance, what do you see when you look at the moon? Most of us would probably say, “I see the man in the moon.” The Japanese don’t see a man in the moon. They see a rabbit making rice cakes! (Figure that one out.). I recently had a workshop exercise where each participant from different countries was assigned one of five animals – a pig, a horse, a dog, a cat, a hen. They were asked to walk around the room and make the sound of the animal to locate the group to which they belonged. Well, it was really tough going to find one’s groupmates because we learned that the Danish dog didn’t have the same barking sound as a Chinese dog, a South African dog, and a dog living in the Czech republic. While we were all having fun learning about each other’s identity, a couple of youngsters outside my studio damaged a car of one participant from Iraq. They equated the Iraqi people with terrorism, which I thought was just plain stupid. Good thing that there’s Home Security Systems in my studio. I kind of saw the attack coming since the idea of cultural understanding are controversial for stupid people. Weeks before the actual workshop, the participants helped me set up DIY Security Systems. The security camera caught the faces of the youngsters and they have already been arrested by the police.
