The promise of uncertainty

There is this one entity that has been with me all through my life, in each step, around every corner and at every intersection. No matter how much I've prayed and how assured I was of goodness and mercy, I have never been left undaunted by it. Uncertainty..Wouldn't it be insanely exciting to know how our every venture will be brought to fruition, how our every plan will see the light of day, what our endeavours will bring us...I don't think so. Imagine a situation of a race, where by some means every competitor knew exactly where he'd place. Wouldn't that be utterly boring. Would the losers dare to even run. I now understand why uncertainty is so important in life. Its what brings thrill to every sport and every game we play. Uncertainty is the essence of adventure. Uncertainty defines the joy of victory and the remorse of failure. In short uncertainty is the lifeline of life itself. Without it, we're doomed. We are framed to a machine. We rather not live! But there is always the promise of uncertainty...an elevated pulse rate, perspiration and an OD of adrenalin. Beautiful but lame...I know, I know.
