I have a problem choosing my beliefs. Every time I think — yes, I found the one that is strong enough to survive, and boom, destroyed in a blink of an eye. I wish I lived a hundred years ago, there were stable rules, and all is clear. I’d be a monarch sitting in a palace, and my people would take my orders. Most probably I’d end up passing away because of some brutal coincidence or unknown disease, or maybe not. Who knows, because this will never happen. What I know for sure is that I don’t know anything. Sounds good eh? But I must have something to believe. Because I need this feeling of confidence created by belief. Then I choose to trust my assumption because I trust myself. Well, who else should I trust more than myself? Unfortunately, even my assumptions of today are not suitable for tomorrow. Tomorrow isn’t today. It is especially true for the era when one generation doesn’t have a clue about gadgets their elders were using every day, like disc phones. There are just two things I can trust for this moment — nothing would survive the time test, and every situation is unique. Well, unless it’s not gravitation waves. Unless the universe not disappears. But I don’t think I would be able to see that, in a form that I have at the moment.
It was hard for me to accept this inconvenient truth. How come I can’t rely on my experience? Why isn’t it possible to trust my common sense? There are stable things, just not so many as I thought before. I found that everything related to human relationships and feelings doesn’t change much for ages. Stories from the 21st century don’t have much difference with older once. Sci-Fi books depict exotic places when people play the same dramas.
Illusions and beliefs are also stable-we want to trust we know the world because we need confidence. It is because faith brings a feeling of safety. How can I feel safe without control? Well, I don’t need to know everything to be confident. It’s even worth-most sure people don’t have luxury knowing everything. They are the first to step into unknown territories and only those who don’t afraid to go away from the spotlight to the scary darkness of discovering would be rewarded with the title “strong and confident.”
It was easy to stay on the light and radiate confidence in the 90th of the last century. But this world is moving too fast to stick with what we know. Now is the best time to leave behind illusions and believes and use imagination to discover rules of the world that is changing fast and faster every day. I feel so lucky to live in our days and excited to see what is coming.
