Acting in society is bound by many rules, practices, and protocols. For example, when greeting someone, we each extend our right hands and shake (even if we are left-handed). We generally know when to say please and thank you. When in conversation, we (usually) know how to keep the speaking back-and-forth evenly. We drive on the right, and pass on the left. There are a lot of societal understandings, manners, expectations, and etiquette. To make it even more complicated, the rules and protocols are very different from society to society, or culture to culture. In England, you drive on the left and pass on the right; in Japan, you might bow instead of shake hands; and in some cultures, you let the person of "higher station" do all the talking, only responding to direct questions.
Imagine this scenario:
An individual, dressed in black and wearing a mask, carrying a machete, approaches you with an ultimatum: give them valuables or there will be consequences.
You happily give the kid some candy to their request of "Trick or Treat" and you say "Nice Michael costume." :-)

Dear All,
I had a stroke on 11/5 and spent a week in the hospital. I am doing well, but will need surgery in the coming weeks; please continue to pray for me.
Thanks,
-John.
We're going to a local zoo tomorrow - haven't been there in a LONG time. I'm looking forward to it, I find it peaceful. If you have a nearby zoo, consider visiting it soon if you haven't been there in a while. :-)

The epic tale of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" has a moral to the story: at the end, after crying "wolf!" falsely and laughing at the woodsmen who comes to "save him", the wolf really does appear and now the woodsmen don't respond to his cries for help. We are seeing that in today's society: these hyperventilating, mouth-frothing, extremists have been screaming that it's "the end of democracy" or "everyone's a racist, bigot, -phobe, (insert whatever here)", or "the climate is going to implode in 12 years" are in for a rude awakening. The wolf is November 8th.
