In order to take a concrete stand on an issue we must betray our very nature. Doubt, a manifestation of fear, lies at the base of of any supposedly rigid stance. The line in the sand that is the "position" is nothing more than this doubt made tangible. Let's say you are for Position A and I am for Position B. In order for us to maintain our positions we need to doubt the opposition's stance more than our own. It's a positive/negative ratio. Confidence does not really factor into our decisions because the presence of doubt eliminates the possibility of exactitude. When we take stances we fight through this doubt to be heard, but the doubt remains, that's why sometimes things get a little crazy.
"I don't know what you're talking about. When I take a stand I'm damn confident about it!"
You sure of that? It is my doubt that drives me to keep this crazy blog going. I am chasing a confident position, but the closer I think I am getting the farther away my goal lies. That is the only concrete position I can take and the thing is it is there is nothing concrete about it. It's all gray. It's all wonder. Okay, come inside. Don't worry, the air's on. We ALL need to cool down a bit.
