Living with ambiguity

Last week fear, this week ambiguity. From "What Matters Most" by James Hollis, three quotes:
"We don't know a millionth of one percent about anything." Thomas Edison
"I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong." Bertrand Russell
"All great truths begin as blasphemies." George Bernard Shaw.

The connecting theme is ambiguity, the lack of clear definition, permanence and certainty.
Our need for for certainty subverts our vulnerability and challenges our spontaneity, playfulness, creativity and openness to experience. A recent study suggest that one of the hallmark differences between liberals and conservatives is the tolerance of ambiguity. But, ambiguity can be annoying, it challenges our sense of security and identity, and it fosters indecision. Please join us as we explore our own tolerances of ambiguity.
