These terrors  [institutions,  religion,  politics,  as economics]  are tools that many use to prop up their illusions of security and control. People are afraid of uncertainty,  afraid of failure. These institutions,  these structures and ideologies,  are all a vain effort to create some sense of certainty and security where there isn't any.

"The Shack" by William Paul Young
