Struggle Between Belief and Doubt

Honesty about not knowing is, in my experience,
where equanimity is to be found. What we actually
know is precious little. So, many of us fill
the apparent emptiness by pretending that believing
is the same as knowing. When one believes without
actually knowing, then there is always lingering doubt
to deal with, even if only unconsciously, and there is
never peace in the struggle between belief and doubt.
