Hey all, Samantha here. I'm new to the PG Tippers, so I'm not sure if I am doing anything right. ^_^ Anyhow, I figured I'd post this little piece I wrote a couple months ago. :)
On Uncertainty
Uncertainty greets us at the strangest times – times when education has filled us from core to edge; when brains are fit to burst. What to choose, what to say; one wouldn’t think that after learning such an amount, we would truly know so little. Changes within us are forming fast, and time refuses to halt; still our minds suffer from a multitude of opinions and thoughts – those which are not always our own. What to trust, we ask ourselves. Should we listen to those who we hold to our hearts, or those who our minds have submitted to?
Faced with this uncertainty, one can only search for the truth. The truth is not always easy to find; yet the One Truth is always easiest to obtain. He is always there; within, around, and beside us. All we must do is find Him; with the Truth as the base of our lives, building up our persons is not always so hard. Decisions become easier to make; we become ourselves, rather than what we have been shaped to be. Responsibility begins to reveal itself from under the shadowed veil; our time has come. Our generation is to rule. Yet, some of us still have not found our steady foundations. Because of this, each and every one of us is facing yet another time of uncertainty.

Welcome to the Tippers, Samantha! My, what a nice post to start off with. It promises great things. ;)
Unknowingly, you hit upon my exact mood for today. Total uncertainty. It reminded me somewhat of Descartes. If this is what I remember reading, he was completely uncertain as well. And that's where the "Cogito Ergo Sum", "I think, therefore I am", comes from. He sat a long time and thought about life, and tried to pin his existence on something. Material objects wouldn't do for him, because they could be taken away. He couldn't always trust his senses, for they sometimes deceived him. What could he do? If he had been Catholic (Well, he never would have gotten into this mess, if he were Catholic), he would have had faith. But no, instead of that the only thing he could trust for certain (necessarily) was thinking, per se! Interesting to think about.
Let's have some more great posts! XD
