Needing an ambiguous life.

“The dark ring of ambiguity around life is a crucial ingredient in its richness; it is not something to be dispersed so that we can lead unambiguous lives.” -John D. Caputo
I am not discouraged by the intricacies of a world occupied both by philosophy and theology. It appears that I am, in fact, drawn to these complexities. I struggle to imagine a life of complete knowledge and certainty. Where possibly would be the fun in that? Caputo’s take on the post-modern context for co-habitation of philosophy and theology is indeed hopeful for someone like me. I want to struggle with God’s plan for me every day of my life. The alternative would be much too boring to endure.
