Every person has feelings. We are happy at times and angry at others. On the same day, we can be furious, silly, and excited. The feeling of protection is an emotion that we sometimes experience without even realizing it. We don't talk about feeling safe very much. When a friend asks, "How are you doing?" we rarely answer by saying we feel safe. However, most of us can admit that we feel secure on a regular basis if we think about it. The term "safe" refers to a state of being free of danger or discomfort. So, feeling secure implies that you do not want to be harmed or injured, either emotionally or physically.
