Summary

This quote suggests that doubt, when embraced and nurtured, can potentially transform into denial. However, if doubt is approached with honesty and a commitment to thorough investigation, it can ultimately guide us towards establishing the truth. In other words, doubting something blindly or without putting in the effort to explore it further may result in denial, while sincere doubt that prompts a genuine pursuit of knowledge can contribute to a deeper understanding of reality.
