Safety and Security

I've been pondering this idea a bit lately and finally formalized it into a question. If you have thoughts about it, feel free to share them. I don't have any yet, but I do think it will be an interesting area of study... like 57 other areas of study I think would be interesting. :)

What does “security” or “safety” mean? And do we want it? At first blush it seems like something any rational person would desire. Yet thinking about it more deeply, what does that mean? Did not Satan offer “security” to all God’s children? That was certainly not desirable. What principles exist around “security” and “safety”? In what ways can “security” and “safety” benefit us and what ways can they damn us?
