The Buddha said that people who do not train their minds are like those who live in a house with holes in the roof. They can get so used to good weather that they see no point in spending time and effort on repairing the roof. When the rain comes, it leaks into their house and causes great damage. The value of training the mind may not be so apparent when everything is going well in our lives, but it becomes very clear when we are hit by a storm of difficult experiences. Wise people seek to prepare themselves for all possibilities. They see the value and dangers in positive thinking. True security comes with constant practice of the Buddha's path.
