Certainty, Confidence and a Whole Lot of Belief


  As broad and sweeping as the title may suggest, mine is not to examine every nook and cranny on the topic within these short postings. Nor shall I cite opinions that have been rendered in the past by those held in high esteem, on the character or qualities of the terms for added support; which is the nature of quoting outside authority to seek credibility. Doing so, in this way, would be to abandon my subjective conclusion. 
   Instead, I wished to step back and take a look at the blending of the primary meanings of each of these singular terms, in much the same way an artist utilizes primary colors to create tertiary hues.  I embark from a singular point of view within the entire spectrum of words while liberating any assumption of inviting further definitions to uphold each proposition as being conclusively correct and universally right. Certainty, I choose the understanding of the mental state of being without doubt. It’s a process of decision derived by comparing subjective personal experience and reasoning to arrive at a conclusion of acceptable degree of predictability. 

That determination fosters Confidence to act; within the engine of behavior. The process of thought, priming feelings, maturing into action, is a fundamental acceptance in deriving belief in a course of obtaining a desired outcome when referencing a personal, conceptual vision of past evidence striving into present affects to arrive at future results. What makes it work is the understanding of the subjectivity of all our conjuring. 
   Every one of us is a master at this artistic interpretation of  perception. Each of us creates moment to moment a reality as genuine and tangible as the one right next to us.
   Yes ~ that was delightful to churn up some cream from the milk of my day.  By this dear friends agree with good humor:  Nature never deceives us.  It is always us who deceive ourselves. ~ Jean- Jacque Rousseau
