From the moment we're born until the moment we die, the world around us seeks to deceive us into believing that certainty is the norm and that all deviations are the rare anomalies. But all too often the true nature of our world reveals itself; that the only certainty we have is uncertainty in everything. When the winds blow too hard, all of us are prone to be swept away with it. Wisdom and caution can help us, but it can never save us. Every day we live is borrowed time, so enjoy every moment and grab every opportunity. Live like you're going to die tomorrow because you might. Work like you're going to live forever because you might. Don't take a single moment for granted because every moment granted is nothing short of a single blessing. Thank your gods that you or your loved ones weren't victims this single random act, because you could have been.
Don't let the fear overtake your wisdom because neither will save you and one will make you look very foolish.
“Everything we care about lies somewhere in the middle, where pattern and randomness interlace.”
― James Gleick, The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood
