The dictionary answer and the short answer-to feel safe-are both good. I suspect there is more to your question. Are you talking about personal security-emotional, physical, spiritual? or financial security? To receive a complete answer would depend on your individual requirements. Ex: Personal emotional security may be a date on Friday night to some or just having lots of friends to do things with to others. Financial security to those content to live in a tent and eat PBJ sandwiches would be quite different from financial security to someone who wants to be able to travel and eat out often. Consider your 'state of completeness' and contemplate your individual answer for yourself. If need be, contact a counselor or financial advisor for assistance-your local library can help.
