My take is that im supposed to have confidence on the people who keep me secure. If they cant keep their assets secure(whether valuable or not) what does that do to my confidence that they will protect me, or my assets as well when attacked?

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.As we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,our presence automatically liberates others.
