Security of life- Do we really have it?

Security of life- Do we really have it?

 

A friend of mine asked me once,

What is my value, what is my worth?

I looked puzzled and asked him what?

He asked what the security in life I have is.

Bank Balance, Fixed deposits and house

Jewels, good job, cars and comforts

At that time, I had nothing.  But I was happy

Later, I slogged for years to make all that he said

But in the process, I lost the most precious asset

It’s my inner peace and utmost happiness

That’s when I felt that this security is fake

A fake guarantee that consoled that I am safe

Despite the honest truth that it is not

I am here, living in this very moment of life

This safety with security can transcend in a minute

You never know, what will happen the next moment

Security is just a breaching word of non-existent safety

Nothing guaranteed, nothing is forever in life

It is just a momentous sense of security

House to call my own, all for a social standing

Is security just measured on what I possess?

But happiness comes from contentment on whatever

I feel satisfied and whatever less that makes it

The struggle to possess more will end up possessing us

Seeking too much security is just invariably dangerous

 Were we born thinking how big we will make in life?

We have lived every moments of life without realizing it

As experts of life, dealing with the unknown, insecurities

So where is the fear of all the times, as we grow to face

Instead of believing in our effectiveness and efficiency

That we have dealt all these years of our happy lives

Sense of security is an unwanted worry to live with

Let us enjoy life and its roller-coaster ride the way it takes

Making life a happy journey to live life meaningfully

Chasing away incompleteness and emptiness

Filling the life with the pleasure of heart and happiness

Friends and family that will remain what may come

That’s the best security we can have- Believing in ourselves.

Choosing happiness and contentment over so-called security!
