List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.
Certainty is a strong term in its own sense. It has a form of sheltered strength hidden behind its meaning. The thought of knowing something for sure has its own appeal. It has a sense of clarity, security and satisfaction.
We all love to be certain about everything we do or plan to do. For example, when we speak of something, we like to be certain of its affect or authenticity. It is like wishing to be able to see the entire road to our intended destination all at once.
Certainty has its own share of justifications and arguments. Some may say nothing in this world is certain and in a given amount of time the visible outcome of everything can change; while some may say given the magnitude of something and the high probability of it happening makes it reasonable enough to be certain about it; there are also those who say just having a strong belief of something happening should be enough to be certain about it.
What I believe is being ready for all kinds of possibilities is very important no matter how certain one is. You can never know when something can catch us by surprise completely. However, there are various things which we can surely be certain about at the present point of time.
Here are a few things I believe are certain in this world which is greatly impacted and influence by human presence-
- Life and death
- Love and hatred
- Happiness and sadness
- Success and failure
- Peace and conflict
- Gain and loss
- Support and betrayal
