"You see, one thing is, I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong." — Richard Feynman
Like Feynman, I find it way more interesting to live not knowing and having doubts than to have answers which might be wrong. I find tough questions way more exciting than easy answers. To me, uncertainty is more compelling than certainty. However, it is also more uncomfortable and fatiguing.
It's like continuously shaking a snow globe without letting the snow settle. It can be exhausting.
In particular, when the reality we live in is already challenging, volatile, complex and uncertain like it is now.
It is natural to desire some straight, easy and unquestionable answers.
I know I do love some of those answers from time to time. It's reassuring, even when we know those answers might be wrong.
Maybe this is why, in many countries, electors reward politicians and leaders who seem to have no doubts or uncertainties, even if their answers might be wrong.
