John Allen Paulos
One of the most precious things that I have learned in my life is the ability to manage uncertainty.
The most part of us thinks that to know every detail of ones life is suitable, before crossing it, but is does not works this manner!
To avert the unexpected has become an obsession in our western culture.
In name of the science and the technology and of the human progress they have been finished unfortunately many errors.
What I want to say is that perfectly useless to try to gag our run.
I am not nevertheless favourable to the anarchy; every evolved society has to obviously have its rules.
Even if we don't like this, uncertainty is a constant that accompanies us for the whole life.
Have I wondered therefore why to fight it? If it exists also owes you to be a reason!
Then whether not to make uncertainty a new friend of ours?
If everything were predictable and controllable, we would already live in a society caricature as that feared by Orwell (1984)
I believe that uncertainty is also a great opportunity to free our creativeness and to know better us deeply.
And I don't speak only of the ability to resolve complex problems or find a way out of critical situations.
Uncertainty is anywhere: in our sentimental relationships, as in the career, in the health, in the relationships with the others.
The secret consists of continually working for to become more solid, more invulnerable to the fashions, to the publicity, to what they think the other ones is correct to do or not to do.
If you turn off the television and go out to make a beautiful run on a beach and breaths deeply the fresh air of the sea and listening the gulls, will understand then something of very important.
There is something of fascinating and of mysterious in the uncertainty: the animals the plants and all of other being that live on our earth they are not sure to exist tomorrow still, yet does life go every day on and manifests him in thousand extraordinary ways, have you ever wondered why?
A individual cannot consider him/her really free and he/she can never improve himself/herself same if he/she doesn't also accept to cohabit with Uncertainty
The Oriental says that the void is the origin of every thing. I believe that in this affirmation there is a lot to reflect.
