Safety Aspects and Issues

One of the elements necessary for peace of mind, safety or security should be a part of a good reality, a good universe. Being safe simply means being free from fear, free from the reality or even the possibility of harm, suffering and death.

Not being safe and secure inexorably engenders anxiety and stress. Pascal said in the context of this world of vicissitudes, danger and death, "Man is so necessarily insane, that not to be insane would just be a different form of insanity." How much of our unstable psychological condition is due to these underlying realities?

This lack of safety permeates every aspect of our lives. No perfect food is available, no perfect climate or environment. No position on the planet is totally safe from any and every danger. There is no perfect hygiene. If we sterilize our environment, our immunes systems atrophy and become more vulnerable. Even if we had biologic functional immortality with no physical degeneration, our lack of safety would mean that we would be overly concerned about harming ourselves, or being maimed. We would become recluses, hoarding our fragile physicality in fortresses. Security is not the least of our needs.
