I am not sure what I am thinking now, but how could I be?
Certainty has never been a part of my expertise. To be certain one would have to be A) optimistic that your proposed idea is certain, and B) be confident enough to stand behind your idea. Neither of these attributes do I posses very often, and extremely rarely do I obtain them simultaneously. Nothing is certain, and that is the one certainty, and I agree whole heartedly.
Life is nothing but a giant mish mash of uncertainties seemingly stacking themselves up daily, as time goes by one can amass so many that the stack seems to sway and teeter with each passing moment. Every uncertainty resting squarely on another, if one comes crashing down, theoretically, all could be lost. Some uncertainties that we obtain seem to be the base holding everything up taking the weight of other uncertainties and steadying them all.
We all live our lives with uncertainty ever present and constantly staring at us in the face, the thing is we choose to ignore it most of the time, or it seems that the chance of such an unexpected disaster seems so unlikely things appear to be certain. Take for example living, you probably assume that it is certain I will live to finish typing this essay, when in reality no such thing is guaranteed, especially my life. Myriads of things could happen to me in this span of time. Who’s to say that my time on this earth isn’t over when my finger strikes the keyboard to enter the final period, so placing it on this essay, and so placing it on my life?
Life can become extremely difficult with all of the uncertainties it seems to offer,(Jobs, college, money, success, happiness) but an uncertainty called love seems to steady this wobbling tower of life time and time again. Love is uncertain, certainly it is, many things can happen to it, it can fade and wear away, or it can be torn apart and obliterated, or it can remain and stay steadfast through many years. As cheesy as this sounds, when love remains, it is far easier to deal with uncertainty.
When love remains you don’t have to wonder if living is a waste of time, there is no way you will be utterly stranded and alone, some one will come along and pick you up. The risks that are necessary to take to make life interesting and worth living don’t seem so daunting, failure may come and that uncertainty will disappear, but at least all is not lost, hope still remains. There is still something to fall back on. Lose love and you may end up bitterly cold and alone. Love affords you the chance to try, something extraordinary may happen, something bad may happen, but life goes on.
Everything is uncertain, and I assume that you agree with me on this one. Uncertainty can be a great thing, leaving little gaps and holes to let light shine through, giving us the opportunity to obtain something unbelievable. Uncertainty isn’t always negative though it seems to carry that connotation, uncertainty can have positive effects. Nothing is certainly good and nothing is certainly bad, and everything deserves a chance...especially life.
