Certainty is the antidote to fear. And the path to blindness. Certainty fuels conviction and razor-edged rules. It spurs action without knowledge -- sometimes courageous, many times destructive.
Beliefs born of certainty harden, become swords of emotional violence. They cut and wound. They kill love because love -- above all -- accepts, softens around each necessary flaw.
Certainty divides the world into what is rejected and embraced; held or flung away. It is the defense of the righteous, the self-willed. It is what war -- in every form -- is made of.
I liked "certainty is what war -- in every form -- is made of.
