If I could wish for something, it would be that all the people in the world had personal security. Security with their own identity. Security with being themselves, with whatever they had, with their past, with the present, with their future. Security to understand themselves, their situations and the security to not judge others for their luck or missteps in life.
Security is a very important thing. Although I value honesty above all other virtues, I do believe security is a necessity to many other lessons in life.
It’s an important stepping stone to self-identity and trust. Security with yourself to have trust for others, which ultimately is the building block to relationships. And every human needs that - a relationship. A companionship and connection to at least one other person that could understand you and feel you.
You need security to remember your self-worth. To know it like the back of your hand. To be secure with who you are as a person and to be secure knowing that you are a wonderful person and that you love yourself. Self-worth to know when you are being mistreated and self-worth to know what you deserve and can achieve. To love who you are, so that you can love someone else and be loved by someone else.
Maybe if everyone had a little more security, we wouldn’t have so many problems in the world.
Hearts go out to those in the Boston Marathon.
If only, we had a little more security.
