I don't know if it's the point of this piece, but this speaks to me a little. I've found one of the most bizarre things about living through times of struggle or danger is how isolated that danger can be. There can be armed conflict happening, and a few blocks away there can be no signs of it.

I haven't lives through war, but I felt some of this during the pandemic quarantine. I lived very close to a major civil disturbance at the time, and you wouldn't even know it if you didn't go looking for it. Go the other direction and it was business as usual.

Anyone else have similar experiences?
