Your Individual Relationship to Security
Our minds are reeling and our heads spinning over the state of our economy. We hear pundits talking about terrifying things from deflation to the end of capitalism. All the while, each of us is dealing with our own individual relationship to security.
Not “security” in the policing sense of the word, but “security” as safety . . . and even as a feeling of being protected against change and / or from loss.
Shakespeare said, “Security is the chief enemy of mortals.”
How so? It’s easy to say there’s no real security because change can happen in an instant. Yet, security, like everything else, exists in degrees. For example, someone with assets certainly has more *financial* security than a person who is destitute.
Perhaps the quest for ABSOLUTE SECURITY is what Shakespeare is talking about . . . the natural human desire to arrange things just so and to keep them that way.
What is your relationship to security? Financial, relational, health, safety, job?
How secure are you in your ability to handle whatever comes up in life? How can you feel more secure in the face of rapidly-changing times?
