Security is the safety net we put underneath us.
And yet, it can often trick us into believing we are safe. Sure, there’s an argument to be made for “safer.” Anyone without a safety net would happily trade for one if you got a spare.
We get so caught up in thinking the search is for safety nets, contingencies on top of contingencies, until a hurricane comes and wipes out everything we have built.
The point is we work so hard to prepare for a future that 1) we might not get to enjoy and 2) that is uncertain.
It’s truly a delicate act to balance the present and the future. To live in the moment and to have an eye for the future. Even for those who are not born yet.
