Safest place

We heard it repeated. Often. “Being in the center of God’s will is the safest place to be.”

Well, yes. 

But safest can be interpreted in different ways. 

We were living in a city where Taliban congregated and proliferated. 

One political party’s slogan read “Sell your televisions and buy guns.” As they sought to overthrow the ruling party by force. 

Safest was not the first word that came to mind.

Safest place.
