Another great chapter!
Fascinating dialogue between Lois and Agent White. The funny thing is, everything Agent White says is correct — but he's still missing the point.
You can't live your life in fear of all the things that can go wrong. You have to weigh the risks and make your choices. Absolute safety is impossible, and in the attempt to grasp it, we risk losing much or all that is meaningful in life. Reaching out to and trusting strangers can lead to pain — or worse — but if we don't, we miss so many opportunities.
I don't want to get into political details because I don't want to hijack Shayne's comment thread. I'll just say there are two ways of looking at the world: the way Agent White does, and the way Clark does. I prefer Clark's way.
