The only thing I absolutely know for sure is that I don't know anything for sure. Every situation is different and unique--however subtle they might be. If you look for it there will always be variations to what you thought you knew for sure. But I'm okay with that because that is the only way we grow and learn.

The only thing you can ever know truly
I think therefore I am.
However, it is only true in the instance in which you say it and can lose it's truth immediately.
"But I have convinced myself that there is absolutely nothing in the world, no sky, no earth, no minds, no bodies. Does it now follow that I too do not exist? No: if I convinced myself of something [or thought anything at all] then I certainly existed. But there is a deceiver of supreme power and cunning who is deliberately and constantly deceiving me. In that case I too undoubtedly exist, if he is deceiving me; and let him deceive me as much as he can, he will never bring it about that I am nothing so long as I think that I am something. So, after considering everything very thoroughly, I must finally conclude that the proposition, I am, I exist, is necessarily true whenever it is put forward by me or conceived in my mind."

there are 2 things i know for absolute sure.
1.) One day i will die... hopefully later rather than sooner.
and
2.) After i die i won't care if what i believed when i was alive was "right or wrong". So for now will just live my life to be happy and let the rest happen as it does.
