Notes
Security is a basic human drive as it fulfills our inherent need for stability and protection. It provides a foundation for physical, emotional, and economic well-being, enabling us to thrive and pursue other aspirations. Seeking security satisfies our instinctual urge for survival and reduces anxiety in an uncertain world.
