Family trips cancelled. Birthday celebrations postponed. Planning for the rest of the year and 2021 practically impossible. I recently came across a tweet that read, “I’m not buying a 2021 planner until I see a trailer.”
The pandemic has brought about a loss of any sense of certainty in what tomorrow might bring. Two questions come to mind. Did we ever have an absolute sense of certainty in the pre-COVID-19 era? Did we ever have a trailer of even what the next hour, not year, might bring? And why does it seem like we need some type of certainty to live sane lives?
If I haven’t totally confused you yet, let’s try to unpack these questions together.
