		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Yeah, but relax, you don&#8217;t know that for sure.&#8221; For the most part, people hate uncertainty. It&#8217;s mentally taxing. It distracts us from our focused pursuits. It reduces our confidence. It vaporizes our mojo. Still, we do welcome one kind of uncertainty&#8211;uncertainty that frees us from a larger uncertainty.

A friend asks him what&#8217;s the secret. &#8220;It&#8217;s a simple division of labor,&#8221; the happy husband says. &#8220;She makes all the little decisions and I make all the big ones.&#8221; &#8220;For example?&#8221; the friend asks. &#8220;She decides [...]]]></description>
