some place in between

[4woody]

Doubt is an uncomfortable condition, but certainty is a ridiculous one.

Are you having doubts about something if I can ask? Do you want to talk about it or did you just want to make a statement? I hope you are okay.

[4woody in reply to Ladybug9]

It is kind of you to ask Ladybug. I was thinking when I read this quote that neither place, doubt or certainty, seems like a restful place, not a place where someone lives. So what is between doubt and certainty?

[Ladybug9 in reply to 4woody]

Great question. I'm one who will try and find the answer.

There is a fine line between Certainty and Doubt. Certainty involves being one hundred percent positive about anything. Doubt is having second thoughts about something that you may have been certain about.

[4woody in reply to Ladybug9]

If certainty is being positive about anything, perhaps doubt is having second thoughts about anything...

Instead of there being a fine line between the two, perhaps they are opposite ends of a spectrum. That could leave a lot of room to live somewhere between the two. Maybe that is where equanimity lives.
