Really We Just Don't Know

'When we think something is going to bring us pleasure,we don't know what's really going to happen. When we think something is going to bring us misery, we don't know. Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. We try to do what we think is going to help. But we don't know. We never know if we're going to fall flat or sit up tall.......Life is like that. We don't know anything. We call something bad; we call it good. But really we just don't know.'

Pema Chodron When Things Fall Apart
