I don't think I've ever been a 100% sure of anything in my life. While that could make me sound indecisive and unsure in life, I think it's more to do with my belief that nothing in life is 100% or nothing is perfect..ideal. And now you can add pessimistic to the list :) What I'm trying to say is it's almost always approximation - adding that 1% or 0.01% of something else. With me it's pretty much always been - being 99% sure and 1% wanting to be sure. And that for me, is as ideal as it can get. Not to mention that division varies, depending on various factors involved. And no this isn't a math or physics blog :| So, let's get to the point.
The other day I was watching Oprah interview J K Rowling, and she mentioned that she asks all her guests one thing they know for sure in life. As I listened to J K Rowling answer this question, I realized I was believing in what she said, more than I would if I had said those things myself. I realized that the division between being sure vs. wanting to be sure was narrowing down :) I think it was to do with the fact that, when you listen to people talk about the experiences in their lives and what made them believe in the things they do, you tend to empathize with them. You nod your head and agree with them if you've gone through something similar. Or you just are in awe of them and thank God for not putting you through something similar. Or you debate the thought, if you don't agree. In any case, you give it a better chance than you would if that same thought just happened to cross your mind. At least I did :)
So, here I am. On a slightly selfish mission, to find more things to believe in. My life would not be as colorful, happy, eventful and crazy if not for the people in it - every single one of them, who stuck on, was a part of my life once or just passed by. So, who better to help me with this mission of mine :) Presenting to you, all my people, on my first ever blog "One thing I know for sure ... ".
