Drabble Challenge #23

Prompt: digital
Helmets.
Seat belts.
Safety glasses.
A harness on the tightrope.
Fences, because you could fall.
"It's for your own good."
Never take chances--what if there's an accident? What if you fail?
What are we really afraid of? FREEDOM. Responsibility. Look at how religions can't stand atheists--they don't answer to someone else. Instead, they claim ownership of their lives...the good AND the bad.
Virtual everything: hide in here, and pretend to live.
Most of us don't even truly grasp where our food comes from, anymore. That's how disconnected we are.
It's a digital reproduction, of an actual life.
