The Trouble with knowing

There's always that desire to know what goes on around us, we stress, strain and fight until the answers that we seek are inches from our grasp.

Here's the real strain, knowing. knowing what lies ahead of us, we think that we have it all figured out. That if we just knew where we were going, we could be in control. Take the wheel and steer right into the positive side.

Isn't the unknowing more fun? Is it not easy to live carefree and start anew? Let the anxiety and fear wash away and become that moment that was once dreaded. Life is deadly, in one way to the next. It is not simple, it is a twisty complexity of messes, a roller coaster without a stop.

So what is the trouble with knowing what lies ahead? Well in this twisty world, unpredictability is key. Why plan and set aside, straining your very being with the stress and anticipation only to be let down by the outcome, this my friends happens 9/10 times.  Plans are created because that's all it is a plan, you plan and plan and forget the real reason behind knowing what is going to happen. The fun becomes a bird that flies out of the window, so quickly it laughs at you silently as it slowly motions to you the middle finger.

You have to stop and reevaluate the cycle of life that you have are living in. The repeat cycle that never reaches the rinse. Your'e stuck and your guarded and that's okay because that is the life that you were programmed to believe in. We teach our children in the ways of society and they are locked into an unbreakable contract in a cycle that never ceases, because it is easier to know then enjoy the unknowing that lies ahead. There is a point where the cycle must stop and the action to not know what the future holds grabs us, and the relief sets in. Giving the thankfulness that we woke up another day alive.

In the mist of the twist you have to stop and smell the roses because the trouble with knowing, is that you know where your going.
Can you live with the unpredictable?
