Meaning of security

After attending a week course on security, I’ve noticed people can be clueless about the meaning of security puttingĀ  them under defense against terrorism and house breakĀ  ins.Of course this form of security is important in the society but we need to broaden our meaning in security.

The fossil fuel decline is the greatest security threat of modern man yet few have really address this looming crisis despite the rising oil prices.Without fossil fuel , no security measures can be effective as our modern society crumbles along with in.The talk of finanical security runs hollow too as fiat currencies that the fossil economy holds up run over our monetary system that’s supporting it over the last century.

The meaning of security changes with time, 3 meal a day and a roof over our head was considered real security during the days of our serf peasant forefathers time.But now with the modern era, insurance coverage,retirement funds and other plentitude of goods and services becomes security of our daily life too.

Indeed man has come far and perhaps need to ask ourself what security in life really means instead of going along with the whims and fancies of changing world that’s going to give us a rude awakening in the post oil world.
