Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we all had certainty in our lives?

The certainty to know which decisions are the right ones, which beliefs are truthful and which actions are the best, would make life a whole lot easier. Yet, all of life is struggling between this contention of seeking it while never having it fully.

Which is why it’s concerning when people live and think as if they have already achieved this certainty that could never be had, or people who burn out trying to achieve it.

The problem of certainty is that it keeps us complacent. It never challenges us or pushes us beyond our comfort zones. It lulls us into a stagnation of the mind and life.

We can never know for certain whether what we do, say or think is the right way, so let’s stop pretending.
