“What would it mean to practice negative capability in one’s own life? Perhaps it’s simply having a certain comfort with the messiness of existence—a determination to not be crippled by the thought that one either is, or isn’t, ever doing the ‘right’ thing. And an ability to celebrate, to wonder and not attempt to explain; to look at your child and think, ‘If I had decided to do something different in my life, even if it was ‘better,’ then this person might not exist.’ It is a way to realize that despite everything, there is really something very beautiful about the chaos of existence.
