There Is Only Uncertainty

Uncertainty gives a connotation of unease, insecurity -- a sense of loss.  It is like your hands desperately trying to hold onto something in the middle of an ocean and yet nothing seems to be graspable.  It is a universal desire of the human race from the beginning of evolution to have certainty in life.  Where does that come from?  And how is it that we can never abide in it?  

It is quite obvious that certainty is something not searchable as it is not part of the game.  In fact, it is precisely the opposite: uncertainty is what is supposed to be.  We as humans and all our thoughts, feelings and experiences are part of this universally constant flux.  Though our life may appear as a continuous flow, it is actually made up of a series of moments merged together; just like how in a movie when a series of frames is played back to compose the complete moving picture.  This moment is never going to be the same as the next moment.  Simultaneously it is with uncertainty that there will be impermanence.  What we need to know, rather, is how to make the best use of uncertainty and impermanence.  With impermanence changes are allowed or we can adopt a different attitude in order to embrace a different outcome.  At a profound level, our need for certainty stems from our insecurity when we believe that we are separate individuals living in our own bodies and minds.  Well, this does give a clue on how we can let go of this perpectual craving and make this a disbelief so that we can be who we truly are.
