What Is Certain?
What is more certain other than uncertainty?
It is certain a baby is born the moment the cry is heard but uncertain if the will live to a ripe
old age
It is certain their prospects to prosper as they advance in age but uncertain if they will end
well
It is certain that you will decide to close your eyes and sleep after a hard days experience
but uncertain if you will awake the next day to face it,
It is certain when you awake that you have the chance to live life yet another day but
uncertain if it will be a good or bad day-or even be your last
Indeed nothing is more certain than uncertainty
It is certain all we can see, feel and touch but uncertain what is in our minds eye,
It is certain the dreams we have but uncertain if we can hold on and see to it that the are
manifested
It is certain the laughter seen on our faces but uncertain the magnitude of sorrows we bear
in our hearts,
It is certain the open wounds all can see but uncertain the level of pain we feel
Uncertainty is evidently certain as nothing is more certain than uncertainty.g
