Curious, can you elaborate?
- hinkley 6y agoI'm not the best messenger, but nothing is certain, and in some cases fighting against it makes you more susceptible to crushing disappointment. If you want to go all the way to Eastern Philosophy, you can, but even without going into that, there comes a point where contingency planning is more fruitful than doubling down on trying to force a thing to happen no matter what. Memento mori (remember you will die) as the Stoics say. Certainty is an illusion, one that romantic partners and anxious bosses in particular don't want to hear about. Great insight for a smoke jumper, not so good for valentine's day or SLA violations.
