There’s nothing like absolute security. It’s a relative thing. A ship is secure at a port but, are the ships meant to reside there only? Security is a state of mind that makes you feel safe, apparently, until someone or something with greater strength or intelligence finds you out or, rather, finds the weakest cord to break through your security.
Do you see this mirror in my hand Mani? I am using it to reflect al the amazing things you said about my blog back to you and I will certainly visit it again
In just five lines you have covered a very valid and important point, the example of ship is so logical.
The pic chosen can be interpreted other way…the bond made during marriage.
Glad you liked it…
In a nuptial bond, the two strings are different, belonging to two different souls. But here, the string/rope was torn and has been tied again to ascertain a feeling of safety or security… 🙂
That is so true.. and so many breaking through cords right now..
Sending warm thoughts your way.. ❤ May we all hold our positive energies as security around us.. 🙂
Haha my uncle fears of flying abroad thinking that he will die in a plane crash…I will share this post with him maybe your words can help him change his mind
Life is anything but secure. Anything can happen anytime. It’s unpredictable. Maybe that’s what makes life exciting. My belief got even stronger after the last book I read.
beautifully expressed as always! Ironically today only I wrote a post about my fears and basically they are my insecurities only! http://www.docdivatraveller.com/
Straight forward truth, you showed in simplest words. Agreed, the security is a relative term. There can not be any absolute security.
Great expression, thanks. Dr Bharatchandra Desai, Bilimora
Sometimes people worry about me traveling because of terrorists, or whatever. But I like you say there is no such thing as absolute security. If you worry too much you just stop living.
Looved reading this thanks
