This is so true. Stability and security are illusions that we want to think they exist. What are they anyway? Equity gets lost too. In the end you never really know what's going to happen. You can play the probabilities game to help you ignore that for a while but in the end you never really know what's ahead.

Then why are people so afraid of something bad happening that they need to build securities and seek stability to ease their worries? Why do they crave for stability when the world itself is in constant flux -- with everybody in it as well? Is it some fundamental belief of not ever having enough, manifesting itself in barricading oneself inside things that at least seem rock solid?
