Summary

This quote suggests that when approaching a subject with certainties or preconceived notions, one is more likely to end up with doubts and uncertainties. However, if one is open to questioning and embracing doubts at the beginning, they have a higher chance of arriving at certainties and a deeper understanding. This highlights the importance of having an open mind and being willing to explore and question our beliefs and assumptions in order to gain true knowledge and certainty.
