I am resting in my Hotel room in Nigeria. It’s my first time in this West African country.
So I am as jumpy as ever. I hear a knock on my door.
The person opens and tries to enter. I shout at the person. What are you doing?
We are painting the apartment. I understand I go through your room to get upstairs.
No, you don’t. My room is sealed off. You know don’t you. he doesn’t.
I am outraged. I am shouting. I end up reporting the painter to the Hotel managers.
I come back to my room ashamed of myself. Such an overreaction to a simple mistake.
All out of fear. I thought that the painters were planning to rob me at night.
Ignorance begets fear. As such fear begets violence
