Conscious

The Certainty of Uncertainty

I admire the mind that questions.

Not the kind who sings along

And goes through life with the same song

That the majority of people do.

I admire the acceptance of negatives

But not the obsession of them.

For those who see no hope in life

Allow fear and sadness to stem.

I hate thinking too hard about things,

So I choose to just ignore them

And if our life on this earth is so pointless

What's the point of knowing them?

Religion uses reverse psychology

And when you question it there's guilt.

Then there's logic knocking on my brain

And there's so little I understand of nothing.

Is the universe really infinite?

If it is then what am I doing in it?

Why did my spot land on this dot

And am I significant at all?

I find peace in insignificance

Like my life shall be insignificant

Easily forgotten when the wind blows

And my ashes scatter and blend in dust.

People find comfort in different thoughts

That's why there's so many religions

And so many philosophies on life.

Because people need certainty.

Certainty of some gods and goddesses

Certainty of atoms and protons

Assured in science or religion

Assured in the certainty of uncertainty.
