Since Life Is Full Of Uncertainties Anyway, Why Do We Fear Uncertainties Instead Of Embracing Them?

This is my second philosophical question, the first being Since Today Is The First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life, What Will You Do Differently Today?

It is a fact that life is full of uncertainties. We do not know what will happen in the next hour, what more to say tomorrow. As human beings, we plan both our lives and our schedules as best as we can. However as much as we can plan, nobody knows what will happen next or whether things will turn out as planned.

Therefore we get stressed out thinking about what will happen next. We also worry when things do not turn out as planned. These worries in turn can narrow the scope of our thinking and limit our creativity. We developed what we call tunnel vision. It is common for people to lay awake in bed wondering what will happen next. Since we have no control over what life will throw at us in the future, why worry about it in the first place.

Imagine that we watched the same movie many times. We know what will happen next in the movie and there is no longer any suspense. After a few rounds of , watching we become bored. The same goes for our lives. If by magic, we are able to know exactly what is going to happen next, our lives will lost its luster and excitement.

If we are able to accept the fact that we cannot eliminate uncertainty in our lives, then we can factor in uncertainty into our lifestyle. We become open to all possibilities and infinity of choices. Life now becomes an adventure, full of excitement and to a certain extend almost magical.

Therefore the choice lies our hands, will we embrace uncertainty?
