Ambiguity is messy, complex and frustrating. It is also absolutely beautiful. Swirls of black and white tangled into knots. Human beings possess minds which enable us to navigate intricate matrices. No other creature can claim this same gift.
Instead of running from uncertainty, we should dive into the unknown. We must push past our inhibitions and soar into uncharted territory.
Exploration is intimidating. Although we tire of routine, we still find
solace in the familiar.
Thoughts and ideas are no different. When we challenge ourselves to
expand our thinking, we feel vulnerable to being wrong. It is terrifying
to consider that the path we are traveling is broken, but it is even
more frightening to latch onto old ideals and risk hurting our chance at
progress.
Progress is a divisive word. Some believe we progress away from morality and towards destruction. Maybe. Or maybe progress means we build upon a stable foundation and create a meaningful impact for our future.
I am not sure, but that is all right with me. Taking comfort in ambiguity helps us be at peace with ourselves. This further enables us to live in harmony with others.
Society will advance. It does not wait for our permission. If the dark
is inevitable we might as well be prepared with a flashlight. We must
accept that most things in life that confuse us are unable to be easily
explained.
But we can keep trying!
