No go areas

No go areas are usually pretty unpleasant. It is reported that Tower Hamlets has seen hate crimes and some say there is a real danger that parts of the borough are becoming no go areas. Paris too has evidence of no go areas springing up. If this is so, it's not a new phenomenon. History shows restricted and prohibited areas crop up from time to time, somtimes on massive scale. Maybe there will always be no go areas in this broken world. We would not always be aware of them. Some such areas carry the banner, "You cannot enter here," or "you cannot do that here." There will be some threat behind the banner such as, "We will not allow that here," or "enter at your peril," etc. It is reasonable that our private dwelling place is a no go area in general terms. I don't just want anybody and everybody to enter, neither do you. My thought life too is something I want to manage and control. I reject many things that want to enter my mind including the dictats of the pc brigade. We face a problem. Open borders can make way for those who want no go areas. If I let their thoughts in, my own views and beliefs could soon be attacked and infiltrated. I will have counter concepts that want to direct my own mind thrown at me or imposed upon me, "You cannot think like that," or "you cannot believe that any more." Previously pleasant imaginings I relished, along with liberating concepts and beliefs I cherish, could soon become prohibited. Years ago, a bunch of folk called Jebusites told King David he wouldn't be able to enter Jerusalem. "The Jebusites said to David, "You will not get in here; even the blind and the lame can ward you off." They thought, "David cannot get in here." They declared it a no go area. David enterd and won a victory. No go became go. I have to admire those who take the city against the odds. We need to be vigilant and willing to keep things open as usual and rejct the imposition of no go areas, unless of course they are imposed under statute by those democratically elected to make laws for us.
