The Necessity of Uncertainty

By Hedge

It is essential to our growth, as individuals and as a society, that we should not have certainty—that faith should be elective, and not the inevitable result of evidence acting with mechanical compulsion on the mind. It is the liability to error, and the experience of error that makes us human, that furnishes to human nature the topic of discipline, and the means of growth. Hedge.
