Life is built around uncertainties and the unknown

[AlwaysAProblem]

As humans, we lack the ability to accurately see the future. We only know the present and what has already happened in the past. In life we take risks everyday not knowing 100% certainty what the outcome would be. We can make educational guesses and be almost certain, but again, we can never 100% know what the result is. Life throws surprises at us from time to time.

This same principal applies to relationships and love. Imagine back when you had your very first boyfriend or girlfriend. You probably endured hardships with each other which eventually resulted in a breakup. But if you were able to accurately see the future and know that you could overcome those hardships and live a very happy life together, you may have rethought your decision to breakup in the first place. Thus, eliminating your desire to date other people and ultimately never meeting the significant other you are currently with.

Now, you are probably thinking, "well I can't imagine not being with my current SO." But remember you can never grieve what you never had in the first place. The underlying reason why you moved on to date other people is because life is unknown. You only know what you have experienced so far. You seek better outcomes not really knowing what lies on the other side. You only can hope and convince yourself what options are good based on what you have already endured.

Now, this is really going to throw you off. The events that happens in the present dictates future outcomes. You may look at an ex now and think, "how did I like him in the first place?" People do change, some for the better and some for the worst. But how do you know if you would of stayed with him back then that the person you see now might be different? How do you know that if you stayed with him or her in the first place that he or she could of turned out to be an ultra attractive and charming person different than what you see now? This, you will never know. Because you chose a different path in life.

So, if we had the devine power to see the future, you may never be with the person you are with now. You may still be with an ex and be having a happier life and not even know it or you could be with someone else. Or...you could still be with the person you are with now.
