Power of Uncertainty


                Uncertain is something which is undecided or not yet determined. This word ‘uncertain’ usually has the power to induce a negative thought in anyone’s mind. As I would think, if something is not clear on time, then I have all rights to be in a dilemma in near future. When anyone asks me about my future and if I say its not yet decided, they give me a ‘you-are-not-suppose-to-be-uncertain’ look. Everyone in this world is running behind and working hard to make their future certain. But keep in mind that desires change in no time and so does life ;)
                Coming back to truth behind uncertainty, one should recognize how important uncertainty is in anyone’s life. Uncertainty is a very thrilling tool, which you will enjoy once you know about it. Consider a cricket match, what would happen if you knew the result even before match started? How would it be if you knew how each ball will be and how every player performs the match? Though you might wish to watch such a match, you would definitely miss the thrill and excitement which you would get otherwise. Consider watching a movie. If you can predict ‘what-happens-next’ in every scene and you are successful, then the movie has a sleek chance to be top in box office. Why? People need change/twists and turns which they cannot predict, to like that movie. In short they need unpredicted and unexpected things to enjoy.
                We usually want things to be certain but should not underestimate the power of uncertain things. Just think about any situation, you usually prepare yourself to stand strong to face the worse. You might feel, in this case, it would be lot easier if things were certain. Yes it would be, however, best case and worst case would then be a myth and there would be left with just a normal/average case. How good can that be where you knew how things went and you would do nothing more than waiting for time and things to come to you. Life would be so static, weary, lethargic, boring and CERTAIN... 
                Randomness is more a boon than a bane. To know its capacity, just try to make things random by yourself. Try arranging stuff in random (though words ‘arrange’ and ‘random’ should not go together ;) )  It takes real effort to do so. Only things which take effort to recreate are the ones which have a high value, so does randomness. Though it is very important to appreciate uncertainty and its implications, I feel one should at least not curse life for its hidden nature of uncertainty. Hope for the best and leave the rest :) Enjoy life… and its hidden stuff as well ;)
