Inevitably it's our home that is our comfort zone, but not always. Sometimes it is the strength of our loved ones we seek refuge in. God, eventually, will be our safe fortress!

I used to have many a crutch but alas during part of my life I had to just do it (with the grace of god I did it of course) you know as you get older or even in early life, there are many ways to soften the harsh realities. Insecurity is by no means a fault or a weakness, in fact sometimes seeking others to provide comfort can be a strength. Often we learn that `it`ll all work out in the end` and it does. Just that some times we need to stand alone and face the bare facts, this is it, this can`t be dressed up as something else, it is the way of nature and life. Harsh reality is so concrete and inflexible. I`m not sure if anyone recalls the film beautiful mind? The harsh reality that presented its self to doc Nash was, despite having some wonderful times with his room mate even the reckless times, not forgetting the trying times. Only to be told that in all his days at university he didn`t have a room mate, it was just him! This break from the real world is very harsh and hard for the main character of that story anyway. So really when there is nothing to hold on to it leads to a break down of the individual ?

Hi Rena,I am not a clinging type, but I do find safety and comfort with my husband, and not false by any sense of the word.

I actually preffer my family and being loved.I feel that when I have that,as well as people who love me and my true friends too then I am happy. Only then do I sometimes realize how much I have and that being with the people I love and they love me too is more than I could ask. I know that I am loved yet being in good company when I need to clear my head is what my family,sister and friends are there for me. I do not neet to cling onto something or someone but rather have someone remind me that when times get tough you keep on going.

Gosh, have you been inhaling the binding glue of your philosophy primer again?
What a curious either/or question. What kind of safety are you referring to? And what do you mean by "false comfort"?
I try not to cling. I do find comfort and a certain sense of emotional security in the love of God and friends and in my own common sense. That seems to be more than sufficient.
Oh, and lunch, as I've mentioned before.

Who says I do? I've taken many leaps of faith without having any. All comfort (except the momentary relax in the easy chair) is an illusion.
There are no guarantees.

My ability to get through everything that's been thrown at me so far. Life hasn't always been easy but I've survived it all and I've raised three daughter's two to adulthood despite what ever been thrown at us. And no nothings' happened to the last child she's still a minor.
