Oｈ ! my God story NO ３０
American people buy security with money
There is a saying in America、"you have to pay for security."
It means that
they pay for security to protect themselves.
There are two types of apartment in America.
One without a
doorman and the other is with a doorman.
The apartment
with a doorman is expensive.
The apartment
without doorman is less expensive.
I live in a
doorman apartment.
Strangers
can't come in if there is a doorman.
You can go in
and out from the front and back door of my building.
So there are
always two doormen keep watching.
They have
three shifts, daytime, evening and from night to morning.
It is for
twenty-four hours.
When someone
comes to visit me,
a doorman will make a contact with my room.
No one can
come in until I say ok.
If I receive a
package when I am out, they will keep it for me.
But they know
all about residents' privacy.
Of course they
wouldn't tell anyone about residents' privacy.
But they know
everything.
At what time,
what kind of person comes
and what kind of relationship they have etc.
You may be able to buy the security of safety but not for the security
of privacy.
Oｈ ! my God.
