48 Entries for “certainty”

  1. I wish that there was an objective way to measure certainty. Certainty is definitely a commodity
    in the adult world and when you have it you have power because it means that you feel you have enough information to act in your own best interests or towards a specific outcome. But not everybody holds themselves to the same standard of certainty. That is where trust comes into play. A trustworthy person is someone that holds their own level of certainty to a very high standard. In essence their certainty is more valuable. Of that I am certain.

    We measure certainty by trustworthiness.

  2. There is something so overwhelming at the idea of absolute certainty. In order to grasp it, understand it, and apply it you need to eliminate all other possibility from your mind. It’s not as though we can’t do it but aren’t we taught and trained from a very early age to be aware of all potential outcomes, to experiment, and when you do not discover what you seek to redesign? There is no such thing as certainty. There is only an educated guess paired with a gut feeling and determination to make it come true.

  4. I already wrote about this word but the more I think about it the less I am convinced certainty is real. Everything is relative to the individual person and their life experiences. Time isn’t even certain, it’s a made up construct to explain events. I don’t think anything is certain and therefore certainty is not real.

  5. It is without any great certainty I will be the greatest I can be and I will do wonderful things in the world. I will make the world a better place simply by existing and by showing my love for other humans. The greatest thing in the world is the care we express for others.

  7. “Will it work?” Mary looked at the device.
    “Well, there is a chance that it will explode,” Martin said wryly,
    “But given the given predicament, I will entertain that certainty.”
    As they continued talking, I looked at the device with great horror and disbelief.

  8. I live with the uncertainty that the future will be long and prosperous. I live this way because I am certain that someday soon, my Savior will come. I am also certain I’m going to eat chocolate today.

  9. Life brings you nothing but certainty. But isn’t it what is so fun about life? Nothing can be predictable. So much depends on us, on the role we wish to play. I am certain about one thing: my sanity.

  10. One word is enough for all of us! I can write that with the certainty of someone who knows what certainty is. I am certain of that. Have a nice day.

  11. The confidence was high. We stood around the screens with arms folded, heads high, smirks plastered across our stupid faces. Whenever I remember this moment it makes me ache. Watching the figures as they moved across the screen, flickering fish through the city rivers. How could this go wrong? It couldn’t. It was flawless. Then the dam broke and the fish began to spill out the sides. Peckard and Nanda began to fidget, moving from foot to foot. I uncrossed my arms and moved closer to the screen. I could see them, suddenly turning back from the major roadway.
    “Where are they going?” Hatham said.
    My hands were shaking on the tabletop. Despite all our planning, all our work, all our failsafes… The plan was falling apart. Again.

  12. There is no uncertainty in this grove of everlasting sugar trees. The sweets pour down on me, when I’m on my knees. Addiction is killing me. I take it all in, one gulp after gasp. I cannot take enough. I am certain I will die. I am exhausted from not dying. But here I am, in the grove.

  13. Certainity is very important in life. Everyone needs it in life. The people who are certain about their decisions they definitely achieve something. It is very obvious for the better future to certainly make decision at the stages of life. If we follow it then we do not get confuse , we know we can plan better and move forward. Discipline is very important which comes along with it in life. We need to iplement this word in actual practice so that we could conclude best of our daily learnings. It would give great profit to the person whoever follows it.

  15. Certainty is for those who know what they want to do, not for those who are uncertain about themselves! Life is uncertain, and our quest for certainty ends us in a soup!

    there is no certainty in this ending

    that you gave me the greatest gift,
    which was learning how to love me.

  20. There was certainty in her face. She had done nothing wrong. to him, she was a monster in disguise. Aiding in destroying his life. he wanted to get rid of her. he wanted to keep her. he didn’t know what he wanted truly. but he wanted her to pay.

  21. ‘Hello people,’ she said. ‘I don’t think we are getting to grips with the problem.’

    This was true. She had set a problem for us to find everything about aquatic life inhabiting this world. In search of certainty, we had drifted into shallow waters, paddling along collecting only among known facts, sighted species, and what we could see from where we stood. We were missing the big challenge, we had not yet explored below the surface. There was dark as well as picturesque lurking in this world’s pondlife. Preditors inhabited this space, there were more than the transparent little guppies that swam along with us, the ripples that tracked across the surface were not all caused by atmospheric changes.

  22. It was so vague. We had no template. Everything was new to us. People speak of certainty but it did not apply here. What were we to do? Our decision was going to change he rest of our lives.

  23. He thrust the crumpled map at her, a frenetic fervor pulsing in his eyes. “Look,” he whispered, his voice rattling and shaking in its box. “Look at it.”

    Her eyes skimmed over the paper, unimpressed. She wasn’t really even looking.

  24. At the moment, I am not certain about what life to pursue. Picket fence with kids in a suburb or Sails in the middle of nowhere. Ice rinks or Oceans. Need to be certain soon.

  25. The certainty of the day hung by a string. The weather shifted like the wind. We ould count on only one thing and that was nothing. The clouds came in like a flash of lighting. Quickly covering the sky like a blanket. I Wish there was more to report but at this point, nothing has shifted..

  26. I wish I knew for certain if something was going to happen. I wish and hope, but I just have to accept, that I wont always,

  27. What certainty means to me is when my mom ask me if I am positive that I want to do what I am saying I want to do I would say I am certain on what I am wanting to do. Or if one of my friends are doing something that is not okay or could harm them or some one else I would more than likely say are you certain that you want to do that, and then explain to them why I don’t think it would be a good idea.

    he must be certain that he doesn’t love me.

    he must be certain that he is done feeling things for me.

  30. Having a sense of certainty can be boring and safe. Having a sense of certainty can be exhilarating and risky. But certainty rarely lasts forever.

  31. she had beautiful eyes
    and a heart you can’t quite beat
    her hair was too short
    her lies were screeds to cheat
    certainty was certainly never meant for
    relationships are impossible endeavors
    i’ll never forget her
    or her horrible displeasure

  32. There was a severe lack of this growing up. Marine biology gave way to barbershops and paintings. Paint sits on my desk now, collecting dust. I just dusted the ceiling fans for the first time in forever. I’m not sure when the next time that’ll be will come.

    by Jason on 02.26.2018
  33. There’s only one thing about certainty…that there is no such thing. Nothing in life is certain. The only certain thing in life, is that you’ll never be certain as to what will come next. Curveballs abound! Today you’re in the 1%, tomorrow you’re on the street begging for money.

  37. I didn’t know where I was. I didn’t know how I got there. I didn’t know where I was going or who I was going to meet or even when this was all going to end. But I could say with absolute certainty what my name was. That was one thing I had. And I wouldn’t say it out loud in case that was stolen from me, too. I had had enough swiped from my hands over the past few days to make me cautious of every interaction I partook in.

  38. To be sure of something, to be able to rely on something. To have stability in your life, in your pursuits, in your goal. Something that will always be sure, you can depend on. No need to doubt it, it is a safe haven when you need it. You can always fall back on it.

    by Ella on 02.26.2018
  39. Certainty or uncertainty? I am certain that I am loved. Loved by the one who was certain that my life would have meaning and purpose. He is certain of me. But I cam uncertain of myself. Uncertain of the future. Uncertain if I’ll ever love as much as he loves me.
