a false sense of security

I thought I wasn't ready... I was!
I agreed to it without knowing what it involved.
I went ahead and did it without planning and preparation.

I was not prepared financially.
I was not prepared legally.

Both of these things are vital to establish what is most important:
... a sense of security.

But without love
it is only a false sense of security

I was prepared to love.

love binds relationships.
love gives what is needed most to feel secure:
... the feeling that one is not alone.

alone to deal with debt
alone to deal with unemployment
alone to deal with the government

the lesson:
save money - but know that it can go as fast as it can come
clear debt - but know that new debt is right around the corner
have a job - but know that the overall economy can go down
learn the law - but know that a lawyer should be hired
get organized - but know that you are not in control

and be prepared to provide the most important thing of all...love.
the foundation for any real sense of security and peace of mind.
time to go find a job.
