Doubt - its usefulness

05/30/2005

So many people come to me complaining: ’Why am I in this situation? How can I get out of it?’ To some of them I have said: ‘The reason is very simple: you have too much faith.’ And when they look at me in amazement I explain: ‘You have too much faith in your intelligence, in your reasoning and calculations, and this is why you are lost.’ Yes, if people would question themselves a little more, they would show greater discernment and would avoid getting into impossible situations. In order to succeed we need confidence, but sometimes it is also good to question ourselves.
