Intellectual certainty is still uncertain

Posted by 64Bowtie on September 11, 2004, at 3:57:52

We all feel queezy at times. We in California have been having mild but noticeable earthquakes the last couple of days that linger in our feelings as queeziness.

Is certainty what we are looking for instead of a feeling of queeziness? I was just watching a TV interview that discussed the pro's and con's of this issue. It made me pause and think about how a desparate person might take the platitude, "Life is uncertain at best!"

I feel certain about what I see, touch, taste, smell, and hear. I even feel certain when I close my eyes, reach out and can pick up something without having to see it.

Am I only placating myself with intellectual certainty, and really the world is never a certain place to be?
