    The only thing we may be certain of is that we may be wrong.

    I don't know that I agree with the people who say that certainty is an illusion. There is an amount of it to be found. It's an acknowledgment, blessing, or surety that something is (or can be) real or affirmed. You may say that certainty and illusion are opposite sides of the same coin.

    Some say, the only thing certain is uncertainty. Similar to how you should expect the unexpected. As to getting certain, knowledge and experience would be the keys.

    In short, just be ready for anything. Don't let anything surprise you. Blessings!

    Certainty is delusion and cuts you off from further learning. Only a fool is certain.
