I’d Rather Know

Recent events have made me think that knowing something is better than not knowing at all.  In other words, to have closure about something is much better than to be kept wondering.  I think wondering about things is good, it stimulates the mind, but I think at the “end of the day”, it makes life a lot easier to be certain.

In a general statement referenced to life happenings whether it be towards relationships, school, jobs, the future, I find that it is better for people to know because not knowing is worse than being rejected.  In an example of relationships, I find that people stay in this “in-between” stage or “never even make it on the stage” state of mind, because people are afraid of rejection.  But at least, if the person is rejected, they know, they can move on, instead of waiting for what could be nothing.  If it turns out to be something, then great, if not, everyone can move on and no one has to wait around.  I think this definitely applies to everything you do in life too.  I know its easier said than done – but I have the liberty of saying it, so I will: Don’t hold back because you’re afraid of being rejected when you pursue life, love, and happiness.

As Babe Ruth put it (I know there are varied versions):  Never let the fear of striking out stop you from playing the game.
