“Uncertainty is the refuge of hope.”
~ Henri Frederic Amiel
Not knowing something or living in a heightened state of uncertainty can make me extremely nervous.
Ironically, this need to know is a perspective that frames my outlook on life. This kind of life orientation, or personal view, corresponds to Pluto in the ninth house. I crave certainty!
My opinions result from an assumption of truth, and my views are argued rigidly against others, creating conflict with the world. To cope with stress or challenge in personality development, there was a tendency for to alienate myself from the world in a dismissive way behind a belief of “knowing better,” and which pretended to be more self-reliant, or secretly omniscient than was the case, a mask of sorts.
Nonetheless, personal points of view for all of us are shaped by society’s norm and culture. Opinions, “knowing better,” has to be backed up with real knowledge. Learning this, the hard way, I charted a new course and set my sails.
Putting together a framework and the content for which I could reliably lean on, but at the same time grow sufficiently in humility, to share what I know, with an openness to learn from and with others, together, has brought untold fulfillment. Surprisingly, it has also brought me a fair amount of calm.
