The central character in many fictional stories is an average man turned hero. On TV, in films, and in books, you'll see people "just like you" saving the day by surviving extreme situations, rescuing helpless children, or standing up to attackers or bullies. As a nation, we value self-reliance and self-sufficiency, and this is reflected in the heroes portrayed in the media.
Nevertheless, there are some areas of real life where it won't pay to be the hero. In fact, trying to be a hero in these situations can be quite dangerous; it may even get you killed. When it comes to defending yourself, it is critical to know when to walk away, when to fight back, and when to wait for help.
As a homeowner, we all want to believe that we can remain in complete control over what goes on in our homes, especially when it comes to safety and security. Unfortunately, we must accept that there are some things that are beyond our control. There is absolutely no surefire way to ensure that burglars will stay out of your house. Still, the ideal is to avoid emergency situations whenever possible. This means taking the necessary precautions to protect you, your family, and your belongings from harm. Take simple steps like improving outdoor lighting and installing a dummy camera to ward off would-be burglars.
Consider installing other devices, such as door and window alarms, to scare away any burglar who does try to enter your home. It's always better to scare the burglar away without having to confront him yourself. While television heroes never seem to face any consequences of chasing after the bad guy, you might.
If you do hear a strange noise in the home, your first instinct will probably be to investigate, but don't feel too pressured to do so. Instead, retreat to a safe place. If you can get out of the house, leave and call the police. If you can't, head in the opposite direction as the noises, and call the police. You don't want to surprise and confront a burglar, who may be armed and whose reactions are unpredictable.
If you are in a situation in which you have no choice but to defend yourself, such as coming eye to eye with an attacker, and you feel you are in imminent danger, never confront the burglar without something to fight back with. Ideally, this will be a canister of pepper spray, a stun gun, a TASER device, or some other device designed explicitly for self defense. If no such products are nearby, grab anything you can see to protect yourself.
If you must confront an attacker, be as cautious as possible. Sometimes, the smartest move is realizing that you cannot handle the situation alone. Although stories you see on TV and in the movies paint a picture of regular people turned into heroes, this is not always realistic. Sometimes, protecting yourself and your family means not trying to be the hero, but calling the police for help.
