"But just as living in a sterile environment seems safer but ultimately makes the body's immune system more susceptible to attack, always pursuing safety and certainty ultimately makes it less likely that we will have the skills and habits that allow us to survive or flourish when things change suddenly, when we suddenly realise that the destination we are heading for no longer exists.
Becoming comfortable with ambiguity requires us to consciously design our lives to be smaller and lighter, so that the risks we must take are more manageable and what we care about is more carefully protected."
