Since the eighteenth century, security has become, almost universally, the official goal for this life, but an unattainable goal, a paradise, ever harder to locate, invisible in a cloud of doubts.

Psychoanalysts declared security to be necessary for the attainment of normality, but few people believe they are entirely normal. Insecurity has become the commonest complaint of our time.
