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!
