Presumed dangerous

Presumed dangerous

There is a presumption that it is dangerous. There is a concern for danger emanating from it.

("For Rabbi Levi said, in three places the adversary is present to accuse: one who dwells in a dilapidated house, one who travels alone on the road, and one who sets sail on the great sea. Rabbi Shimon bar Abba in the name of Rabbi Hanina: All roads are presumed dangerous" – Kohelet Rabbah (Vilna) Parasha 3. Also: "And he who did not worry about the poor worried about himself, for all the roads outside the wall were presumed dangerous" – Agnon / Only Yesterday, 152 )
