A sense of security

We see trust as a source of a sense of security, and it is true that it stems from within us, but many external matters and events affect it against our will. For example, the influence of time comes, which sometimes betrays us with its speed and sometimes imposes on us things that we were not ready for, so we are forced to receive them in our lives as unauthorized visitors. They are desirable, and only confidence in ourselves helps us achieve this, especially confidence in our ability to stand steadfast and continue in the face of life.
