on certainty 173


173. Is it maybe in my power what I believe? or what I unshakeably believe?

I believe that there is a chair over there. Can’t I be wrong? But, can  I believe that I am wrong? Or can I do so much as bring it under consideration? – And mightn’t I also hold fast to my belief whatever I learned later on?! But is my belief then grounded?



yes –

you can choose what you think about –

what you believe

‘unshakeable’ belief is a pretence –

the better you get at the pretence –

the more stupid you become

there is no right or wrong here –

what we deal with

in our perception and our description –

is uncertainty

belief –

is ‘grounded’ –

in uncertainty
