“To teach how to live without certainty, and yet without being paralyzed by hesitation, is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy can do.”
— Bertrand Russell

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes in life, we don't have all the answers or know what will happen next. It can be scary and make us unsure of what to do. But learning to keep going, even when things are unclear, is very important. Think about a time when you had to make a big decision, like choosing a job or a school, and you weren't sure what the right choice was. Instead of getting stuck and doing nothing, you moved forward and made a decision. This is what philosophy helps us do: it teaches us to act and live our lives even when we don’t have complete certainty. It helps us understand and accept that uncertainty is a part of life, and encourages us not to let that stop us.
