People act that way, but it is just an act... nothing else. I agree with your idea that you can't take security for granted - it's elusive... which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I've known quite a few people (including me sometimes) who have felt trapped by the mechanisms and systems they themselves set up that were supposed to make them feel secure. Expect the unexpected ;). I think there is a myth out there that when you become an adult, everything will become sure and secure as you figure things out… but really, it never does.

Pursuing security and stability doesn't seem wrong as long as you understand that it isn't complete security or complete stability. It is when you act as if it is guaranteed, that it is only fair that since you did this work for security and stability it can't be taken away or altered. That is when bitterness and anger and resentment come in. I live by my famous quote I made up: Life is much more unexpected.....than I expected. LOL I am torn about this.
