Possibility

This is an interesting idea.

I think life is primarily about possibilities and that the full life entails embracing all possibility.

The possibility of failure and success, of bugs in software, of peace, of challenges, of creative insights, of the beauty of love and a whole lot more.

To live a complete life involves accepting all outcomes in life. Which is not to be a fatalist. It means that one must not resist any possibilities, since they exist and some of them will manifest.

It is entirely reasonable to like certain possibilities more than others. However, genuine intelligence about how these are manifested cannot arise till we learn to accept all possibilities.

And that is the key to my mind. Intelligence.

A fluid and alert mind, open to possibility is what is necessary to make the most of life. That is what intelligence is.
