On the same kind of theme as the previous post, Daniel Florien assures the reader that doubt is healthy:
1) Accept that doubt can be good.
Doubt is not evil — it is a tool for discovering truth. That you are doubting is a good sign. It means you’re thinking critically and not simply accepting things because someone says so. As Peter Abelard said, “By doubting we come to questioning, and by questioning we come to truth.” If we love truth, we must embrace doubt.
The only reason to fear doubt is if you fear truth. Fundamentalists of all stripes fear doubt. Is this a coincidence?
2) Be open-minded.
You don’t want to defend faith — you want to believe whatever is true. Seek the truth, no matter where it leads you.
When people speak, listen. When others challenge your beliefs, consider they might be right. In other words, be humble. There’s no reason to think we’re right about everything, so why act that way?
3) Learn to love truth, not being right.
Good thoughts, all.
