The Paradox of Certainty

The Paradox of Certainty We always hear about people struggling with uncertainty. The unknown can be terrifying—sure. But what about certainty? What about those moments when you know exactly what’s going to happen, and there’s nothing you can do about it? Yeah, that can be just as unsettling. Think about it. You set your alarm for 6 AM, and you know for a fact that it’s going to go off. No surprises. No mystery. Just pure, cruel, undeniable certainty. And yet, when it happens, you’re still shocked, confused, and somehow offended. Certainty strikes again.
