It's been a while since I started reflecting on certainty and got lost in a dark path of uncertainty. I believe language has great influence on my problems with certainty, since using it is the way we make sense of things. I went into a skeptical-like state (much like Descartes) and I just can't seem to return to my normal state. Ok, I'm certain of a few things, but I feel like I lost the control I had over my life because now I have doubts about several basic concepts all over my mind.
Many times I feel like I can't make correct statements about the present because I don't know if the things I've observed have changed. For example, if the laws of physics have changed really subtly and I can't perceive the difference, if people who had a specific behavior still have it and many other situations similar to those. Another thing is, since I can't read minds, I'm not sure of how I can tell if someone is telling me the truth or not, excluding a few cases in which I can directly observe the situation. I just don't know if the people who seem to love really do. I'm not sure if they're being honest when they say they love me. Also, I'm not sure about many things of the past. How can I be certain History isn't wrong? How can Historians know if someone didn't lie or if a group of people didn't decide to lie?
The last part, which is the unclearest to me, is the future. It's a mistery. How can I tell things aren't going to change? People say "I'm going to do this" or "I will do that", but how can they be sure they're right? I don't see a way to tell if I'll be alive in the next few minutes, so how can people believe they're right?
Well, I don't really know what to do to reach peace of mind. I feel stuck in this stressful state of disorientation. How can I escape this?

Everything moves through a continual alternation ranging from: 1. Heartbeat/Breathing 2. Moods 3. Seasons 4. Economies 5. Empires Etc. All things move through alternation; with this movement setting the foundation for all reality. The universe, even with its expansion and contraction, exists through continual pulses as a pulse in itself. This dualism, grounded in alternation, effectively joins itself as "being". Wouldn't it technically be as "temporary being"? Numbers 2 and down all exists until 1 stops for a person. And I guess 1 with everything can stop if world stops being too. So it's continual to an extent basically. Because continuous usually means a never ending cycle but it can end though Time is the fragmentation of one infinite nature into many. Take for example a simple squirrel running across the street. The event, may last only 5 seconds.
It is a localization of one set of movements out of many (the squirrel getting up in the morning, gathering acorns after the run, the squirrel being born, the squirrel dying, the matter forming in the womb as the squirrel, the squirrel turning into dust, the dust being recycled, etc.).
The squirrel itself is composed of infinite movements (cells dividing, molecules moving, the wind blowing the acorn off the tree which feeds the squirrel, etc.). Even the second in which the movements occur is composed of further parts of the second.
Time is strictly just the relation of one part (the squirrel at point A) to another part (the squirrel at point B) with these "parts" fundamentally just being points in space (which we can see in the basic nature of how we percieve time through the clock...an inversion of one point into another).
This inversion of one point (the squirrel at point A or the clock with a hand on one specific second) to another point (the squirrel at point B or the clock hand on second number two) is "isomorphism" of one "point" to "many" points. This one to many sets the grounding for alternation.
This isomorphism, of one point to many points or 1 to 2, effectively exists as composed of infinite points. The squirrel running from point A of the side walk curb to point B of the tree must progress to point A.1 (the road), then point A.2 (another section of the road), etc.
Points A and B (the squirrel moving from the sidewalk to the tree, or the clock hand moving from one second to another) effectively are composed of infinite movements, and from a relatively larger perspective are points of movement in and of themselves (the 5 seconds of the squirrel running across the street are a simple point in time compared to its multiple year lifespan, the same applies for 1 second on the clock compared to 1,294,346,292,295 seconds.
Each localization of reality, which is grounded in time, effectively equates to and is composed of "point space" where each "moment" as a localization is the observation of a set of isomorphisms (or one point inverting to another).
So alternation, through isomorphism, is a constant, but also each moment being one point in time (and infinite) as an approximation of the 1 point of "everything".
My head is real foggy, so if this does not make sense or you do no agree just say so.

Those who want immobilize you make you think you have to be certain before you can act. Even if they make some wrong turns, they'll get to their destination ahead of anyone who has to find out the shortest path before moving at all.
