- Synopsis
- There is a possibility that the word on the cover of the book should be: POSSIBILITY. There is a high probability that this is the word. There can even be certainty if you know the language to be English and there is no other word that could fit. Why do we pay so little attention to the importance of 'possibility'? There might be many reasons but I shall only deal with some of them here. The first reason is that no one in the whole course of our education has told us that possibility' is very important. The second reason is that we regard possibility as very inferior to 'truth' or 'Fact'. This is all very understandable. You have to act on truth or fact. When you go to the supermarket you have to buy some definite food items. You can think of possibilities but you pay cash for the certainty of the food in your basket at the check-out point. If you are a wild animal you need to be certain that the other animal approaching you is a predator - then you run away. If you are having a house built you need to know the definite cost. It is very hard to plan for 'possible' costs. Action needs certainty. Interaction needs certainty. Belief needs certainty. If you are going to die for a cause, you need to know for sure that it is a good cause - possibility is not enough.
