Feeling Secure Now Being Secure Forever

WHY is security often elusive and,if found,temporary?  Could it be that our sense of security is based on imagination-on what we hope to attain rather than on what is attainable?  Such a  delusion might be called living in a dream world.

Imagination allows the mind to leave the reality of life with its insecurities and to enter a beautiful, secure condition, dismissing anything that may spoil the dream.  Often, though, the problems of the real world suddenly intrude on this dream world and mercilessly obliterate the feeling of well-being, awakening the dreamer to sober reality.
