To be fully human is to embrace the uncertainty and ambiguity of existence from "summary" of Philosophical Fragments by Soren Kierkegaard
In the realm of human existence, uncertainty and ambiguity are unavoidable companions. Life is a series of unpredictable events, each unfolding in its own unique way. We may strive for certainty and clarity, but ultimately, we must come to terms with the fact that some things will always remain unknown. It is in embracing this uncertainty that we truly embrace our humanity. To be fully human is to acknowledge the limitations of our knowledge and understanding. We are finite beings, bound by our own perspectives and experiences. No matter how much we may try to grasp the full scope of existence, there will always be aspects that elude us. In this sense, uncertainty is not a weakness to be overcome, but a fundamental aspect of our existence to be embraced. Ambiguity, too, plays a crucial role in shaping our human experience. Life is filled with moments of complexity and contradiction, where the lines between right and wrong, good and bad, become blurred. It is in navigating these ambiguous spaces that we are forced to confront our own values and beliefs, to grapple with the inherent complexities of the world around us. By embracing uncertainty and ambiguity, we open ourselves up to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world. We become more attuned to the ebb and flow of life, more open to the possibilities that lie beyond our immediate grasp. In this way, we move beyond mere existence and towards a more profound sense of being.- Where everything is neatly ordered and predictable. But true humanity lies in the willingness to embrace the unknown, to confront the mysteries that lie beyond our comprehension. In doing so, we open ourselves up to a world of endless possibility and growth, where the very essence of our humanity is revealed.
