There lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds.

Doubt that keeps asking is closer to belief than agreement that has never been tested. A conviction you inherited and never questioned costs you nothing, so it holds nothing. When you wrestle with a question honestly, you are taking it seriously in a way that easy certainty never does. The doubting is not the opposite of caring; it is the shape caring takes when you refuse to pretend.

Notice where you have been treating uncertainty as a failure. Say plainly, to yourself or to one person you trust, what you actually do not know. Then keep going anyway.
