Certainty is a Disease of the Mind. Uncertainty is what makes life beautiful.
It’s human nature to want certainty and stability in life. We strive for them all our life and in a way by wishing for them, we make our life more difficult.
Certainty doesn’t exist, not in human life, not in life at all. Your plant or tree might bloom every year but it might get irremediably damaged by frost or disease and die. There is never any guarantee that anything will happen when it should and this is what makes life so beautiful.
Change and the unexpected are the weaves that life is made of.
Would we appreciate life, nature, joy, love, beauty and everything we enjoy if there was the certainty that they would always be here? Wouldn’t we take them for granted?
A glimpse — albeit for a season — of all the wonderful things that we enjoy elevates everything from the ordinary and certain to the extraordinary and magical.
If you have experienced the fabulous weather we have been enjoying in Europe — clear blue shy and sunshine every day this week — then I’m sure you have enjoyed it all the more that it is not permanent.
