Learning to carry the psychological weight of gray areas, unpredictability, and plain ignorance is likely a life-long process and practice. But perhaps the more we practice dealing with the experience of not knowing, perhaps the better equipped we become to sustain ourselves through some of our greatest personal and collective periods of uncertainty and instability. What helps you carry the weight of ambiguity and the unknown?
