It's our vanity that makes us think that what forms part of our world today must be stable and secure.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life.
Not being secure affects us as humans. It throws us off our balance. It puts us in disarray.
I think that when the world feels safe and secure, we probably feel more that way in our personal lives. What goes on in the world affects us, unequivocally.
Stability is not the way of the world.
Our vanity is the constant enemy of our dignity.
The task we must set for ourselves is not to feel secure, but to be able to tolerate insecurity.
We are living in a world where everything is based on security.
We assume in our daily lives that the world is both safe and sane. Otherwise, we could not carry on.
It's an old adage that the way to be safe is never to be secure... Each one of us requires the spur of insecurity to force us to do our best.
I have a strong sense of myself. That gives me a sense of security, you know? If I define myself by things that are always changing, like the public's opinion, or what I'm wearing, or what job I'm doing, there's no stability in that.
