ABSTRACT

The individual’s quest for security in life is a never-ending process. Security can be an illusive, ambiguous, and often constraining prospect. The more security one tries to grasp, the harder it is to attain and the more illusive it becomes. The more one tries to clarify and quantify security, the more ambiguous it becomes. The more security one obtains, the more confining it is to the one who is secured. This chapter will deal with two distinct perspectives on security. The first viewpoint relates to the recipients of security, and the second is from the position of the individuals providing the security.
