And Mary pointed out that life doesn't really run in absolutes and we don't generally get certainty or closure or completion on lots of things, and that we were in the middle of WAS real life, and we had better make the most of it. I've never been crazy about ambiguity. I like things settled, neatly packaged. I like to know what's what. The trouble is, of course, that life isn't like that.
Life is uncertain.
Because the carpet is always shifting. For a person who likes certainty, I picked a funny religion. There's an old joke that while in most religious traditions, the people go to church to find the answers, in Unitarian Universalism, people go to find the questions. There's a lot of truth to that. And I've been thinking about the importance of the questions, and the impossibility of finding answers.
