Beauty Of Uncertainty - KT Tunstall from Drastic Fantastic

literaryjukebox:

We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and there is no learning. There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt. People search for certainty. But there is no certainty. People are terrified — how can you live and not know? It is not odd at all. You only think you know, as a matter of fact. And most of your actions are based on incomplete knowledge and you really don’t know what it is all about, or what the purpose of the world is, or know a great deal of other things. It is possible to live and not know.

Richard Feynman (May 11, 1918 - February 15, 1988) in The Pleasure of Finding Things Out

I’ve never seen anyone die before. I was prepared for the sadness. The heartbreak. I wasn’t prepared for the beauty. The purity. The clarity. The clear perspective. What matters is obvious.

He is dying and it is sad but that is not all it is. There is a grace to him. He is trying to be brave. He is scared about what comes next. But he is more scared about staying here. The pain is too much. I told him that whatever happens next, I think it will be ok. He responds, “Me too.”
