I would say i can guarantee more of the love i have than fear. Fear is a feeling that cannot be guaranteed for safety. Unlike the love, i could guarantee its safety to a person i loved.
Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

The Fear Of The Lord Is The Beginning Of Wisdom And Knowledge.
Knowledge And Wisdom Can Be Vital Tools In The Decision Making Process Of Keeping Us Safe. When We Are Weary Or Fearful Towards Something Or Someone, Our Instincts And Thought Processes Gear Up, For Thinking On A Deeper Level.
Love Can Hinder Or Help, Depends On How It Is Dispensed

Fear cannot be a guarantee for safety. Infact fear can lead a man to unsafe situations. Imagine a fearful man at a height of 1000 metres. Inspite of all safety measures taken, he may still feel insecure and may die out of fear.
A loving person attracts no enemies. He/she loves safety also and therefore he/she will never be unsafe. He/she loves to be safe in all situations/activities like driving, swimming, flying, etc and finally he/she will be more safe.
Love brings more peace,balanced behaviour,calmness in life which will help an individual to be more safety concious.

In Love, we open up, we surrender to the other person . Being so, no safety is guaranteed. On the contrary, we are in danger of losing balance, all the time. Maybe, this is a big part of the magic of love.
In Fear, we get cautious. We become very careful and mind every step we take. This, adds to safety.
Now, I ask : Is Safety, a good thing?? :))

LOVE. "Perfect love casts out fear." 1 John 4:18
Fearfulness causes one to avoid that which appears to be dangerous. Fears develop as a result of experiences, even what sees of the experience of others. Protective wariness of dangerous situations is necessary to prevent foolish endangerment. Unfortunately trepidation is often a general feeling that keeps people from taking risks. Fears are applied to illusory "what if's." Were it safe to do nothing but hide from the unknown, as fear often dictates,, then fear would be a safeguard. Is it safe to live one's life avoiding change, because of projected dire results? I think not. The mind and body atrophy, when a human being remains continuously without using the manifold potential of complex intelligence and physical ability. The affects of letting fear dictate have been shown to cause both mental and physical afflictions. Necessary fear can protect against immediate hazards, yet in the long run, it is a downfall.
Love enables one to go forth. It brings us into others lives, causes others to love us in turn, and to adhere to us with loyalty. Thus, in the simple sense, "safety in numbers" is one of the outcomes that love can provide. On a deeper level, love protects the soul from rejecting the oft hidden beauty and molding of character that is crucial to the human spirit. Ultimately love is the only guarantee for protection that lasts.
Fear as a constant tool for security brings entrapment, not safety. Love brings freedom to the heart, which is the consummate safety.

Love is like a permanent magnet while fear is like a temporary magnet. The moment the factor causing fear disappears, the original condition is restored. But Love has a lasting effect and the change it has brought, including safety is permanent.

Love... if brought out to it's fullest extent (applied universally) safety from one another will be total. Safety from other non-human problems is enhanced by loving actions of others.
Fear... if universally extended decreases safety from one another... people often act violently when in fear. And they often fail to act to protect others in trouble when fear overtakes them.
Peace

Love would be the ideal choice, unfortunately, fear is the more common choice.
I don't believe it is a human failing as much as an instinctual reaction to our original nature. No matter how "civilized" we are in our higher minds, when it comes down to it, in a crisis, people often act in fear rather than love; looking out for one's self. It's survival instinct, simply put.
We are animals that want to be more.

there is no guarantees in life and that includes in love and fear but I would say love is the ultimate choice - to open ones self so completely can leave a person so vulnerable to which safety is always as issue as for fear well there isn't really safety in fear either as it holds on , making most situations worse rather then better........Fear can have such a hold that it cam make things all the more dangerous ....trust me on that one my friend.....I think it is better to love, to have a choice to as fear seems to not give many options as love do.......or that is my opinion anyway.........A nice question enki ......glad to see some questions from you but remember choices is what counts always.......enjoy yourself sweety and take care okay...bye bye

In today's society as it is there is no Guarantee, that anyone is considered safe, even though, Love can engulf you with good emotions it cannot defend you from anything Evil. What is considered Safety, has to be with self perservation, and watching every step you take. Always being alert to anything your instinct, tells you is not right. Enki, good to have you back, I missed your questions, welcome back.
