Surrender to unpredictability of existence from "summary" of Wisdom Of Insecurity by Alan W Watts
To live without knowing what will happen from one moment to the next is to live with insecurity, yet it is in this very insecurity that we can find true freedom. The desire for security and certainty in life is a common human impulse, but it is ultimately an illusion. We cannot control or predict the future, no matter how much we may try. By accepting the unpredictability of existence, we can release ourselves from the burden of constant worry and anxiety. We can let go of the need to control every aspect of our lives and instead embrace the uncertainty that comes with being alive. This surrender is not a sign of weakness, but rather a recognition of the limitations of human knowledge and power. When we stop trying to force life to conform to our expectations, we open ourselves up to the beauty and mystery of the present moment. We can find peace in the midst of chaos, knowing that we are part of something much larger and more profound than ourselves. This surrender is not resignation, but a profound acceptance of the nature of reality. In embracing the unpredictability of existence, we can cultivate a sense of humility and awe in the face of the unknown. We can learn to trust in the unfolding of life, even when it takes us down unexpected paths. This surrender is an act of faith, a willingness to let go of our need for control and certainty. In the end, surrendering to the unpredictability of existence is an invitation to live more fully and authentically. It is a call to embrace the uncertainty of life with an open heart and a curious mind. By letting go of our need for security, we can find a deeper sense of connection and meaning in the ever-changing world around us.
