Security Mode

Does Anu have a “Security Mode” for me?

Yes. Of course. It’s 24/7.

Doesn’t he get a break?!

You don’t know what it’s like for a Man. To have Security Mode on for the woman he loves, 24/7, 365 days a year. For the rest of his life.

What?! Isn’t that a lot of worrying? A lot of suffering?

It’s not “worrying” — It’s not “suffering” — It’s love. Real love. Security Mode doesn’t get turned off.

Hmmm… Okay. I have to acknowledge this. I admit, I don’t have Security Mode for Anu, or anyone else… maybe just my parents?

That’s okay. You don’t have to.

I think my real, intense “Security Mode” will come out when I become a Mother.

Yes, that makes sense for evolutionary purposes.

But will Anu have Security Mode for the kids?

Yes. It just keeps growing. Expansions of the heart. Each additional kid. Another Security patch add-on.

Hmmm… interesting…

So, even while we’re making love, Security Mode is… ON?

Yes. Even while making love. A Man’s Security Mode is always ON. (Unless… he’s too drunk…)

LOL…

“I would die for you” — literally. A Man’s love for the Woman he loves, it’s that intense.

I feel like… I didn’t learn about this until recently…

Your Dad never showed you that side of him?

Not… that intensely…

It’s still there, even if they don’t “show” it that intensely. He could also just be on some sort of cruise control with it, depending on his age and other situations. He could have outsourced the security, which helps him relax a little bit.

Is Anu ever going to “outsource” the security?

No. It’s not his nature. He won’t ever adopt cruise control.

I’m suddenly remembering. The one time I experienced “Security Mode” from Dad — we were at the traffic lights, an intersection, in Taiwan. And I was standing too close to the curb.

See? It’s there. Even if he doesn’t always show it. Security Mode. 24/7. It was immediately activated.

Huh… (Nodding)… I guess you’re right about that.
