Acharya Prashant addresses the concept of security, particularly for women, by distinguishing between real and imaginary danger. He uses the analogy of a mirror and a photographic plate to describe how the human mind often retains permanent imprints of past fears, much like a photographic plate, rather than reflecting the present reality like a mirror. He explains that while it is natural to respond to immediate danger, living in perpetual fear of imaginary threats is a state of mental suffering. He points out that media outlets often exploit this tendency by sensationalizing rare negative events, which leads people to believe that danger is more prevalent than it actually is. This constant consumption of fear-inducing news prevents the mind from being attentive and understanding reality. Furthermore, Acharya Prashant discusses the high cost of security, which he identifies as the loss of freedom. He argues that throughout history, the pretext of providing security has been used to confine women and strip them of their liberty. Comparing a secure life to a bird in a cage, he notes that while a cage offers safety from predators and a regular supply of food, it ultimately kills the spirit by denying the freedom to fly. He encourages women to exercise their intelligence and choose the risks associated with a free and active life over the suffocating security of confinement. He concludes that one must not be a victim of their own imaginary fears or the societal structures that trade freedom for a false sense of safety.
