don't have a future; then you are confined, in an imprisonment.
So security is sought continuously but when you find it, you get fed up with it. Look at the faces of husbands and wives.... They have found the security -- the much-sought-after security -- and now everything is in their bank balance, and the law and the court and the constable are all there to make everything secure. But now the whole charm, the whole poetry, is lost; romance is no longer there. Now they are dead people, they are simply repeating the past; they live in memories.
Listen to wives and husbands talking. The wife goes on saying that the husband doesn't love her as he used to; and they go on talking about past moments, their honeymoon and other things. What nonsense! You are still alive. This moment can be a honeymoon! This moment can be lived, but you are talking of the past, trying to repeat it.
Security never satisfies, and in insecurity there is fear -- fear that the relationship can be lost. But that is part of being alive. Everything can be lost, nothing is certain -- and that's why everything is so beautiful. And that's why you need not postpone for a single moment. If you want to love a person, love him herenow. Love him, because nobody knows what is going to happen in the next moment. The next moment there may be no possibility for love, and then you will repent for the whole of your life. You could have loved, you could have lived. Then remorse surrounds a person; repentance and a deep guilt is felt -- as if you have been committing suicide.
Life is uncertain. No one can make it certain, there is no way to make it certain. And it is good that nobody can make it certain, otherwise it would be dead. Life is fragile, delicate, always moving into the unknown -- that's its beauty. One needs to be courageous, adventurous. One needs to be a gambler to move with life -- so be a gambler.
Live this moment, and live it totally. When the next moment comes, we will see -- you will be there to tackle it. As you have been able to tackle the past, you will be able to tackle the future also. And you will be more capable because you will be more experienced.
So
