About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

Prompt: Certainty vs. Confusion
It is often assumed that certainty is preferred over uncertainty and confusion. Can you, however, think of instances where good things may result out of uncertainty and/or confusion?
---------------
My question is, is there such a thing as certainty? Maybe in a far away place, like heaven, but not here on earth, can there be certainty, methinks.
Let's look at it this way. You wake up happy in the morning. The world is quiet. Your cup of coffee and breakfast are perfect. If so, why do you need a new hairstyle, a new book, a vacation, or even conversing with your friends? In fact, why do you ever need any change especially if you are in a certain perfect place in your life?
My guess is, there is no certain perfect place or way of being. Even in the best of conditions, those conditions can always change. And they do. Therefore, good-bye, certainty!
And welcome uncertainty and confusion! So I can only hope this uncertainty is not too harsh and painful, and confusion does not disrupt my so-called "sane" thinking. Still, some people claim that the best ideas often emerge from the fog. This maybe because confusion disrupts our everyday, routine way of thinking.
So we begin to explore unconventional paths. And kudos! Welcome more fulfilling ways, creativity, and artistic and scientific breakthroughs! This means personal growth, adaptability, humility, better emotional maturity, and new opportunities.
Another positive could be, uncertainty and confusion makes us let go of any rigid, established expectations. This makes our lives more spontaneous and richer. We also begin to lean on each other more and with honesty. This, in turn, does deepen relationships by building empathy and trust.
So, this all means uncertainty and confusion are also catalysts to new ways. Although, deep down inside, I keep wishing they wouldn't be so painful at times and so difficult to handle.
