  3. Noone can be certain of of anything in there lives. For certainty much like forever doesnt exist. i thought i was certain about one thing in my life once, But that one thing came back to haunt me in the end. I was also had a belief in forever, but now all of that is gone.

  6. Believe in Futures, they are certain, certain to become the present. so why live in the present when you can live beyond the present, in what hasn’t happened yet.
    Live in what you know will happen, live in your thoughts, ideals, dreams even.
    Just simply believe that what you think will happen… be it good or bad… WILL happen.
    Live on that thought and that thought alone.
    Viva La Vida.

  7. Certainty. That feeling you get when you absolutely know something. Although sometimes…usually…you are less certain as time goes on. You know something for sure now, you might not know it later. Or you might know its not true. But at the moment, you are absolutely certain, and that is a beautiful thing.

  9. certainty? what could anybody say about certainty. i was sure about something once, but i was wrong. i am sure that i was wrong… but maybe i was right, and i’m wrong about being wrong now. certainty is an evolutionary trap without which nobody would do anything. how could you have kids if you weren’t sure about their value? mewling shitting creatures.

  11. That is interesting, considering the state of mind I’ve been in since last night. There are very few things in this world that I can be certain of. One is that I care about her. Another is that I’ve accepted that this had to happen. I’ve already found my solace.

    rose
  22. i love certainty, it’s the most satisfying of concepts, it makes life predictable, bearable, and unavoidable. it stops pain infiltrating unexpectedly, allows you to prepare. but i also hate people who rely on it as a kind of transcendental fixed point, certainty as common sense.

    Bob
  23. Certainity is when you are completely sure of something. you don’t even think about whether it’s true or false you just know. Just like how I know this is a pathetic answer. Oooh look at the green line it’s going to beat me very very very soon. I’m running out of things to write about oh no!

    casey

  25. With no certainty can we know our futures. What kind of a world would we live in if we knew for certain all that would ever happen to us. We would certainly not get any enjoyment out of life because there would be no surprises.

  26. I know with absolute certainty that the word “absolute” is unnecessary with “certainty” If it’s certain, it’s certain. No “absolute” needed. Wait, I’m not sure.

  27. A certain person is one who is ultimately content. An ignorance that gives one power in their life. An ignorant bliss that breeds true happiness. Certainty is a very destructive thing, and creates worlds of dissonance and inconsistencies.

    Andrew Wright
  28. Certainty is ironic in the fact that our lives are never certain. mystery engulfs human existence. the main problem with human civilization is trying to achieve certainty. Attempting to manifest your destiny is madness. The human is an awe inspiring creature.

  29. certainty is a thing in which you know something you don’t awill happen but y but you don’t actually know if it will happen because it is all in your mind. certainty has the word ‘taint’ in it because it ‘taints’ your vision of reality. if you are sure of what you are going to see you are not open to seeing what is really there. your cup is full and you must empty it. and i really like tpying i think i should be a secretary . moooooo. i am a cow.

  30. certainty implies decisiveness, this is something i do not have. i can never make a decision with complete and utter certainty. it is simply not in my nature. certainty would imply knowing the outcome, and history has shown us that god has a sense of humour and we can never be certain about anything.

    rhonda kincaid
  31. There is certain about today. Or the days tha have gone by. or example, There was no certainty in me getting fever. I got it..and then recovered..and then well.. just as I was recoverig.. I drank like 10 days old soda .. and it upset my stomach.

  32. is hardly ever real. it’s an illusion created by a mind too caught up in belief in the facts it believes it has. Nonetheless, the illusion is necessary to making decisions – or at least, decisions require a belief in the probability that one is certain about some fact.

  33. Practice breeds certainty. In order to perform efficiently in the white collar world, one must possess some sort of confidence. Certainty is most easily achieved with confidence. Confidence is achieved through practice and routine.

  34. Certainty = Death

    Everything else is a crap shoot.
    Most days I’m ok with that,
    or I like to pretend to be ok with that.

    I’m good at pretending.

    Eventually though the truth shines through
    and I get panicy and freak out.

    I am crazy.

    Everything else is just a game.

  35. trust-worty

  36. It is with certainty that I know life is a smorgasbord, a cabaret, and all the other things written in poetry and song. Sometimes it’s a bitch, too!

  37. Is there such a thing anymore? Everything is conditional. Everyone has a price. We can no longer lie down and close our eyes without the fear that things will be different when we wake. We live in frightful times with no promise of improvement.

  38. In certainty, there is nothing uncertain. For if there were uncertainty in certainty, then would nothing be certain? If we have certainty, then there should be no uncertainty. If we have uncertainty, there would be no certainty. Just be certain than uncertainty balances out certainty.
