The Desire for Safety

"The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise."
- Tacitus


Is it better to be safe or strong? Safety is about the past, secure against the biggest threat you've seen. It is impossible to secure yourself against the biggest threat to come.

Strong on the other hand is about preparation, skill, agility, and flexibility.

Better to be strong.

Pierre
