Comment: This reminds us that wisdom often lies in suspending judgment. In Conversational Leadership, embracing uncertainty can open space for more nuanced, collective sense-making.The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity, and it’s really impossible to tell whether anything that happens in it is good or bad — because you never know what will be the consequence of the misfortune; or, you never know what will be the consequences of good fortune.
