Ambiguity, or uncertainty, is one of the facts of life. Pema Chodron, the wonderful Buddhist nun and author, chose to title one of her books “Comfortable with Uncertainty,” as Buddhist teachings emphasize experiencing things as they are, not as we would like them to be (which is often with less ambiguity). I touch a bit on this on my post “The Gift of Waiting” on the ThoughtsHappen.net site. Cheers!

Very true Shalu. Infact Lateral Thinking contributes to the increase in ambiguity about the “perfect” solution or alternative which is the hallmark of Vertical thinkingwhich advocates a clear and unambiguous choice on which the thinking and reasoning edifice is built.
