Defenseless

In ancient world many different weapons were created and used to protect humans from dangers. Also all cultures around the world almost believe that talismanic words or magic have strong powers to help people in danger situations. In my country Iran, our ancestors believed that talismanic words are the objects that were imbued with protective power and all cultures have manifestations of such objects like magical words and signs. In the world of Islam, they bear Qur'anic inscriptions as well as images of prophets, astrological signs and religious narratives. I think that humans of past centuries had many weapons and gears and also mental powers to protect themselves. They were able to fight with brutal life with all of the strange dark powers of nature by their confident hearts and also in the battles. personally, but how about humans of modern Life? what would keep us calm or safe in the battles of life. What are our the weapons or situations to keep us calm and relaxed in dangers? What keep us confident about unsafe situations, stress, poverty....? I believe that modern life have made humans desperately alone and depressed and they have become so upset and materialist.
