which do you value more:
security or excitement and why?
I would say security first, and then excitement within the bounds of security.
(It may be because I can always find points of interest on an intellectual level to keep my brain plenty entertained and never bored. So I can always find a safe way to explore something different and exciting. Maybe because I am not afraid or insecure about talking and sharing ideas on just about anything with anyone, that the range I consider "secure" may be broader than people who freak out and cannot talk about religion, sex, politics, money, their past or future without feeling insecure or threatened where I am comfortable and intrigued by diverse views.)
