Security

I've worked a long time in Information Technology and in that area of the world security means allot but I find myself asking today is there anywhere security doesn't mean allot?

As people, we are always looking for job security to know that tomorrow if we go to work the job will be there.

We look for emotional security to know that the people we love also love us and will always be there, and of course physical security, that no one is going to harm us.

So as you see we really aren't very complex when you look at it, there are only a few things we want, so why is it so hard to get them?

The simplest answer comes in the form of emotions, hate, fear, envy, jealousy, spite, selfishness, greed.
These more negative emotions also drive people to do things that will result in making someone else lose their security.

I find it amazing that we talk about right and ethics yet most people no more understand them than they do the physics.
Both are simple subject if you only stop to think about them, but sadly we never give ourselves the time to think.

Adults?

In the dictionary, the definition of an adult is a person who is fully grown, but if I think closely about this I don’t know any adults because if you take someone to be grown to the level of meaning mentally then there isn’t one adult on this planet.

This I think might explain why when we look around is we see such childish behaviour, countries acting like children pointing at one another and say “be he started it”
But this is just one example, another example is the emotional blackmail that is placed on people by family such as but if you move away we won’t see you, It’s been my observation that people don’t seem to ever seem to see what is best for others might mean doing something you don’t want.

So I ask a simple question is it too much for us to grow up mentally as well as physically?

I don't believe I'm asking for the impossible just the reasonable.
