How do you handle the ambiguity of life?

The times when the answers are along the lines of sometimes, this will happen, and at other times something else will occur.

What they can provide is their best-educated guess at the moment. If you listen carefully, you can hear them hedging their sentences with a, sometimes this will happen, and this is what we’re hoping for.

They use the word ‘sometimes’ sparingly, knowing you don’t want to hear them say it because you might lose confidence in them. But in their hearts, they know that little of what they forecast or speculate is guaranteed to occur.
