insurance

Description

Insurance is a contract that confines one’s anxieties into money in preparation for tragedies called accidents or disasters. Insurers peddle so-called “security” against future uncertainties, only to brandish exclusion clauses when claims arise. Premiums transform into rust of obligation every month, and the greatest return is deemed the uneventful peace that follows payment completion. In buying assurance of the future, one lightens the present pocket and ultimately wanders the maze of fine-print clauses in search of its benefits.

Definitions

• A system that monetizes anxiety by anticipating accidents and illnesses.
• A ceremony that purports to sell “security” but ensnares clients in exemption clauses.
• An act akin to burying current funds underground in the name of preparing for future catastrophe.
• A trial that soothes payers with premiums, then submerges them in a sea of paperwork when they claim.
• A sacrifice that removes adventure from life by making one chant “what if” like a mantra.
• A mechanism where the true salvation sleeps within the gaps of the contract while risks are acknowledged.
• A paradox that convinces policyholders to let go of future fears yet never truly release them.
• Modern alchemy that makes one feel in control of uncertainty by exchanging money.
• A business that commodifies cowardice by using promises of payouts as collateral.
• An absurd market that sells security in fragments instead of actually dispersing risk.
