“The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next”. I think it is correct, and it is what we are feeling now. Everyone has a different life. However, we do not have the ability to predict the future. We never know what will happen tomorrow. That’s exactly what Ursula K. LeGuin meant, our lives are vivid and colorful only because we cannot choose the path we want to go. So, uncertainty is what life contains.
In my life, I would prefer uncertainty. Why? I saw a movie called “Next”. In this movie, the protagonist is called Chris Jonson. He can foresee two minutes of future. This ability might sounds excellent in the beginning. Yet, imagine you are watching a movie, you can always know the end two minutes before others. Then, what is the point to watch the movies with friends? You won’t be able to impress by the movie at the same time with you friends, and then the whole entertainment will disappear.
The reason I chose uncertainty is that this is the only way to enjoy my life. Even though I cannot forecast what is going to happen in my life, and everything happened will be unexpected. Nevertheless, I can enjoy the pleasant amazement of my life. In addition, if I chose certainty. I will be able to foresee the day I die. Then, that will be pointless to keep living, because I will be worried about that date every single day in the rest of my life.
