Certainty is a cruel mindset. (Langer)
Have you ever just been so sure about a piddling, totally unimportant issue that you would bet the farm on it? And can you remember the chagrin you probably experienced when you found out you were wrong? My husband and I can sometimes get going on that kinda back and forth stuff, usually with unpleasant consequences, so we eventually have come to the point where we end most of our “things-we-absolutely-know-for-certain” with a big shrug and the comment “but who knows? I don’t know nuttin.”
And you know, the older I get, the fewer things I really do know for certain! I somehow thought it would be the other way around. Which is kinda cool in a way, because it gives you lotsa “Wow!” or “Isn’t that amazing?” moments.
There’s a lot of potential surprises and discoveries and new things to learn about how to be in this astonishing universe of ours. Give UN-certainty a try today.
Maybe.
