About this Quote

Germaine Greer's quote speaks to the idea that security is an illusion. It is an incorrect sense of safety and security that can never ever truly be attained. Security is a rejection of life due to the fact that it implies that absolutely nothing can ever take place to us, which is difficult. Life is unforeseeable and filled with threats, and security is a method of trying to control the uncontrollable. Greer's quote recommends that security is an incorrect sense of convenience that can never ever be fully realized. It is a way of trying to reject the reality of life, which is that anything can take place at any time. Security is a method of trying to secure ourselves from the unidentified, but it is ultimately an illusion.
