Just a thought …

We seek certainty, not truth, failing to realize that certainty is not what truth is about. 
Being, like climate, is a chaotic system, at least from our perspective. According to Aquinas, truth is the mind in conformity with reality. Well, reality comprises a good deal more than what we can be certain of. And what we can be certain of is often among the least interesting things we know.
