Philip wanted to retort.
But he didn't have a proper answer. When Sam said it out loud, even he cannot deny the fact that he is indeed acting that way. Still, he doesn't want to admit it.
He wanted to be stubborn and deny everything.
Only if he had the strength.
Without giving any chance for Philip to think of some random bullshit story to cover this up, Sam started speaking again.
"I know you are scared that something like before might happen again. But this is not the way to go. We cannot shield ourselves from every danger that comes at us.
We cannot just go on with trying to find an easier way out. As I said, this experience only increased my vigilance and my approach to the dangers that we will face in the future will change. But I am sure that it won't include running away and finding excuses to escape.
That is not a good practice.
