The art of uncertainty

Do you realize that we are living in uncertainty? I do.
When we cross the street, we know that there’re risks of getting struck by a car, bitten by dogs or so. But we’ll never know until it really happens. We keep on crossing, probably in anticipation, or become more cautious. It’s uncertainty.
When you drive your car, you frequently roll the steering to avoid bumps with others. Doesn’t matter how good you are in driving, your sight is always limited due to angle. You can only predict the timing to roll it and how much effort you work on the steering as per your past experience so that the angle your tires make is wide enough to change direction of your car.
We derive many things from uncertainty; we know the Law of Chaos, we have Calculated Risks. We also have Russian roulette.
That’s the uncertainty. I think it’s beautiful, because it makes variations. It initiates what we know about changes: Everything changes; what won’t change is the change itself.
