In an increasingly uncertain world, the article stresses the necessity of navigating life's mysteries with acceptance rather than denial. It encourages letting go of the illusion that life can be completely controlled or understood, promoting a shift to treating experiences as intimate and personal. By recognizing the inherent unpredictability of life and adopting a more anthropomorphic approach—viewing life as a dynamic entity rather than an object—individuals can alleviate feelings of victimization and achieve greater serenity through acceptance of life's intrinsic wildness and unpredictability.
We now face the wildness of the unknown. The combination of mutating viruses, leaders with arrested personal development, and global financial instability has us feeling a paralyzing angst.
Letting go of how we think life should be and accepting how life actually is—mysterious, unpredictable, and insecure. As our acceptance deepens, we learn to relax into what is out of our control.
If we do let go, then there's the possibility of life getting us right. We are emancipated from the snare of trying to triumph over life or feeling victimized by it.
Anthropomorphizing life simply means treating all life situations as a thou and not an it, acknowledging the complexity and depth of each experience.
