The Strength of Vagueness







Vagueness is often disregarded.

But it is there. Always been there. Everywhere.
People just do not notice and when they do, they despise it.


Vagueness may seem like his cousin, the emptiness.
However, unlike his cousin, it says many things and let others be foretold.


We must apretiate what it does, without doing it.
Because it is in the left empty spaces that our mind is put to work to create diverse and amazing worlds.
With much more details than any other description could do.

What mistery without vagueness?
I mean, we can describe like "the ancient tower" or "a tower built by ancient civilizations".
But it is in vague senteces like "ancient civilizations left what resembled like a tower" that really passes the thrill.


Articles also need the power of vagueness.
When we create something new, it does not mean that we need to describe its future or limit its use.
Quite the contrary, we certainly want to point many paths.
Some of them we may not know exactly.

Opposite to common thoughts, vagueness raise the questions which guide development (See Hilbert).
In my opinion vagueness and doubt differ in style but are twin brothers.
Vagueness is an implicit doubt.
