The past is at least secure.

Summary

This quote suggests that there is a sense of stability and reliability in looking back at the past.

Therefore, this quote hints at the idea that we may find comfort or reassurance in reflecting on the perceived security of the past, as opposed to the uncertainty that lies ahead.
