Certain about nothing but what little to be certain about

Why is it that all of the people who embrace life’s uncertainty seem so content and happy? 

All the backpackers, hippies, roamers and nomads, who hop from place-to-place day-by-day. 

Why do all the people who crave certainty seem so frantic, stressed, rattled, depressed, anxious?

Why indeed. 

I guess it makes little sense to seek certainty in areas for which we have no control. 

It makes sense to be certain about the things for which we have all the control. 

Knowing the difference between the two is absolutely and positively essential then. 

Of that I’m certainly certain.
