Not one single thing/person makes me feel safe. I feel very unsafe all the time. As a matter of fact, I am in a permanent state of unsafeness.
I feel unsafe because of climate change and natural disasters.
I feel unsafe of resources being scarce.
I feel unsafe because of wackos like the Connecticut shooter and the like.
Also, the economy crisis, terrorists, food,
you name it, the list goes on.
I can’t see how being in a loved one’s arms can change all the things that we have no control over. (I am NOT criticizing those who do, so please don’t feel attacked. I just wish I understood how that makes some people feel safe.)
I think the world is a very scary place and that we are not any safer when we leave home (or even when we stay home) than cavemen were. There are no dinosaurs out to eat us but there are plenty of other just-as-bad stuff out there.
Feeling safe is of course a state of mind, but I wonder how people can feel safe knowing that all the scary stuff is out there. Some people like @Coloma seem to have it all figured out by not watching the news or example. But in my case not watching the news doesn’t make all dangerous stuff disappear and I can’t pretend is not there.
