“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.” – Helen Keller.
This is a powerful quote. The late Industrial Age brought us the concept of personal security and stability but that was an illusion, and will ever be. As Helen Keller says, avoiding danger and adventure is no safer than plunging voluntarily into it. Still we seem to have a hard-wired need for a feeling of security. This is visible in many ways in our daily lives.
Again and again, life demonstrates that it is better to be agile and changing than to stay in the illusions of security. Which brings to the following conclusion: when you feel safe, enjoy, but it this feeling stays for too long, maybe it is time to put back into question your personal circumstances and start another adventure. Are you ready?
