Benjamin Franklin said: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” As is often true with Franklin, the quote makes several points. What’s relevant here is that safety is temporary.
A century later, Benjamin Disraeli said, “Change is inevitable. Change is constant.”
Franklin also famously said, “Nothing in life is certain except death and taxes.”
The tradeoff in the poem is between something uncertain and something that it is certain you cannot keep.
Believing in yourself is the key to a good decision and learning to trust your instincts and to base your decision on what your heart tells. Your heart will not betray you.
Ah the never ending battle between the conditioning of society/the ego vs. the innate thrill seeker and wild woman deep within you. I love this it made me think today ✌️😍
