I have been noticing that within a few years very thing around me has changed suddenly..people are fighting for no certain reason, everyone is hyper, stressed up and ready to scratch others’ face
yesterday i was discussing same issue with one of my professor and she said its due to uncertainty we all are having around us…
now my questions to you guys are
do you really feel being surrounded by uncertainty and what is so uncertain around you?
does this uncertainty cause any change in your behaviour?
Life is uncertain - no two-ways about it. I deal with uncertainty by putting my trust in Allah. In most situations when something is out of your control; what are you going to do about it? Sit and sulk? That's not going to help you or anyone else. In such a situation I make dua to Allah because I know he will make things better; and everything happens for a reason, so the uncertainty may be a good thing even if we do worry about it.
Rather than uncertainty I would find insecurities the more appropriate term here. Uncertainity about the future is mainly because of the insecurities we have around us.
At a personal level, there are random times when I feel everything around me is uncertain. Esp when something important or fussy is coming up ...although funny enough there is never a moment when life isn't uncertain because we don't even know the next moment.
I tend to be a bit irritable in such times but mostly keep it to myself in front of others and also try not to dwell on it otherwise I become even more mopey and whiny.
^ Imo you only become insecure when something becomes uncertain. I.e. You found out that you didn't get the job you really wanted, so you start thinking that you weren't good enough (this is when the insecurity kicks in). One leads to the other. I don't think you can replace uncertainty with insecurity, but that's just my opinion.
^yes but they both are closely related. Everything is already uncertain in our life. We don't know if we'd actually be living up to see tomorrow's son. But if things around us make us feel insecure about ourselves that's when we start thinking that nothing's gonna work out ..and everything seems to be uncertain , unsure..infact our own decision making power would be diminished if we are insecure so we become unsure of what would happen.
it's confusing ...but I hope you get what I mean ! :p
And at the same time it could be the other way around ..like you mentioned about knowing something's not going to happen and then thinking you had to do something with it. So both of these make components of one circle :D
Well, was your professor referring to the strained economy? And how the stress of resulting issues such as unemployment/rising prices/money management seeps into our relationships and interactions with one another? I feel like people are more into looking out for themselves...even if it comes at the expense of others. We could analyze things and come up with numerous factors...but the fact remains that life will always be unpredictable and uncertain....even when things aren't so bad.
