Living With "Uncertainty"

From The "Time" Of My "Birth" ..
"Unbeknownst" To "Many" ..

I Have "Always" Struggled ..
With "Much" Uncertainty ..

Never "Satisfied" With "Plain" Explanations ..
Knowing The "Great" Depth of "All" Things ..

"Always" Wondering "Whether" I Know "Enough" ..
The "Shadow" of "Doubt" Ever Present ..

I Know ..
Two Things ..
"Extremely" Well ..

The First Is The "Certainty" of "Uncertainty" ..

Anytime ..
That I Am "Confident" ..
That I Have "Figured" Something "Out" ..

"Gods" ..
In Order To "Humble" Me ..
"Pull" The "Rug" From Under "Me" ..

The "Second" Thing ..
Which Is The "More" Beautiful "Thing" ..
Is To "Learn" ..
"How" To Live With "Uncertainty" ..

In This "Physical" Body ..
We Are "Much" Limited ..

As "Time" and "Space" Have "Control" Over "Us" ..
So "Does" The Limit of Our "Consciousness" ..

Our "Mind" ..
Though "Wonderful" ..
Is "Much" Limited ..

We "Have" To "Look" Through Our "Soul" ..
Let Our "Spirit" Come Forth ..

Have "No" Fear of The "Unknown" ..
But "Embrace" Every "Aspect" Of It ..

To "Deal" With "Unknown" ..
Is Like ..
"Swimming" ..
"In" A "Deep" Ocean ..

There "Could" Be "Much" Fear ..
Yet,
There "Could" Be "Much" Excitement ..

The "Key" To "Living" A "Good" Life ..
"Is" To "Embrace" All ..

The Good ..
The Bad ..
The Pretty ..
And Finally,
The Ugly ..

My "Brother" ..
There Will "Always" ..
"Be" Unknowns ..

The "Trick" ..
To "Live" A "Good" Life ..
"Is" ..
Not To "Confuse" ..
Not "Knowing" ..
With "Ignorance" ..

"Not" Knowing ..
Will "Bring" About "Bliss" ..

But "Ignorance" ..
"Does" Not ..

Body Prison

by Mehdi on

I totally agree. Body does act like a prison. And it does tie you up to the physical universe. But I can tell you that if you look for it, there are ways to handle that. You need to be brave and do a little research. Remember that most people will try to stop you when you try to understand. There is a certain odd fear within us to scare us from the truth. In the bible there is a statement in Genesis that says when God found out that man had eaten from the "tree of knowledge" and the "tree of life" he became mad and said Man has violated our command and has now become "like one of us!" Then he put up a "wall of fire and dancing swords" to protect the "tree of knowledge" and the "tree of life" - so that man would die every time he got close to finding out what the truth is (eat from the tree of knowledge) and finding out how to be immortal (eat from the tree of life). Many will try to convince you to not research these things! But it's your choice :-)

...but there will come the time when we leave this body (if we have attained that level of undestanding through our deeds thoughts and actions) that we will comprehend some of the unknowns!
The higher the level of understanding, the more light will shine on the unknowns to become certainties!

Thank you for your nice words ..

 

I think that as long as we are in this body, "constraint" by both time and space, that we are going to be "limited" to as what we can observe and experience.

I Like Your Poems

by Mehdi on

Although I think I am too certain for some reason, even though I do not know a lot of things. Maybe I am ignorant then :)

 

 

I'd like to think that uncertainty does not need to be eternal just because it has lasted so long. I'd like to think that maybe there is a way to arrive at certainty. One thing about undertainty that I know is that there is a certain breed of human that spreads uncertainty - very covertly of course. This breed survives on the uncertainty of others. For as long as other can't be certain, he is safe. Consider that!

Uncertainty

by Jamshid- (not verified) on

There is a lot of hidden meaning in this poem. Very nicely put! Those who had dealt with uncertainties surrounding our lives and religious views, can understand every word.
.
My motto is that life is about uncertainties and more importantly, the ability to cope with those uncertainties. How we deal with an uncertainty shapes our character and defines who we are.

Thank you for this very nice poem.
