What does it mean to embrace the uncertainty of life? I live a very uncertain existence myself, and for me it has meant never putting down any kind of roots or committing to anything that I can't escape easily.
- _heimdall 2y agoSure, I'd expect it looks different for everyone. I would propose that a common thread should likely include a lack of, or at least control over, fear of the unknown.
- silverquiet 2y agoShould one only fear the known? The known is far less scary as it can at least be anticipated and perhaps accommodated. Unknowns are the death of all my plans. It's like telling me not to worry about the things I can't control; why the hell would I worry about the things I can control?
- _heimdall 2y agoI'd absolutely propose that people should only fear the known, and what they can control. Acknowledging what is unknown or out of your control is important, but fearing those is just paralyzing. Fear can be an excellent motivator, but its only useful when you can actually do something about it.
