Doubt

Tue May 5, 2009, 11:37 PM
"Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd." - Voltaire

This seems to be ringing true for me lately. Doubt has crept into my life, or perhaps it has always been there and I have stifled it until now. What do I doubt? Everything, everything, everything. I don't think one thing in my life is certain at this point. It's no pleasant but it's comforting in an odd way. I'm seeing [what I've thought were] all my options before me and not a one is truly satisfying so I must choose to believe there are more awaiting discovery. I'm overcome with the desire to absorb every bit of the world I can wrap my mind around and possibly try for more, though I know my mind is limited. I don't want to be certain of anything, not yet when I know so little. It seems absurd to me now that I was ever certain of anything when I've known practically nothing.

So cheers to doubt and the motivation it brings.

I live primarily in my mind, but I emerge from thought occasionally to do bothersome but necessary things like work, eat, sleep, write, etc. I'm a quiet person, I don't share easily, but I wouldn't call myself shy by any means.

I tend to prefer things make sense. I would think most people prefer things make sense but experience tells me this either isn't the case or many people simply don't know how to hold onto sense when they find it and certainly don't know how to make sense themselves except for rare occasions when they happen upon it by accident. I don't suppose I'm much better off than the average person when it comes to making sense either of myself or of anything else but it certainly is nice when it's stumbled upon. At this point in my life I'd dearly like to stumble upon some sense as I seem to be lacking any.
