Why do feelings of insecurity and muddledness arise in the experience of love?

"Embrace the insecurity of love, for it is the doorway to wonder and ecstasy; only in surrendering to the unknown can clarity and true aliveness flourish."
According to Osho, insecurity and muddledness arise in love because love belongs to life’s living, unpredictable flow, forever crossing from the known into the unknown. We’ve been conditioned to seek security, so fear projects anxieties and demands control (marriage, morality) that dull aliveness and breed confusion. When you welcome insecurity as intrinsic to love, its “insecurityness” dissolves and wonder, ecstasy, and clarity return.
Love feels scary and confusing because it’s an adventure into the unknown, and our fear-trained minds try to cage it, which makes us more mixed up.
