Human society by design is intended to provide us with peace and security. Without peace and security, our lives are spent in fear and suspicion. Our government is committed to ensuring our safety; our hospitals and clinics seek to preserve our health and physical well-being, our banks and other financial institutions promise security for our savings and investments. But ultimately, how much can we truly count on the security promised by our financial institutions, our government, our health care system, and in so many other things on which we rely?
