Certainty

"Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd."
- Voltaire - French author, humanist, rationalist, & satirist (1694 - 1778)

Life would work out so much better if more people could figure this out.

Sometimes you gotta wonder

Sometimes you gotta wonder. When things get so bad in the world, is it possible that noone really gives a shit if things get worse or better?

I wouldn't have thought that as a kid.

But if people give a shit, they could have fooled me.

Because for me, if things get worse, I start to wonder, "Am I maybe doing something wrong?"

That, apparently, is too difficult a question for most people to ask themselves.

And hence flows most of our problems.
