Uncertainty is Beauty


Though we strive for the things we do not know, To climb higher than the highest mountain And sore higher than the strongest bird To swim faster than the quickest fish And be faster than the most agile creature To outsmart those who cannot be defeated And be smarter than each other Or smarter than our own technology, We take a chance of being happier Because every unachievable thing Has accounted for every beautiful thing Though it cannot be explained And we will never know We will always wonder if it is possible Possible to reach all of the unreachable things The things that feed our curiosity It is certain that some have been reached But it is uncertain whether all will be found.
