Doubt it

What is doubt? Is it that nagging feeling that something isn't quite right? Is it the feeling of uncertainty that makes life seem more interesting? Or is it just a perfectly normal and healthy paranoia?

Whatever it is, it always seems to have a negative connotation. Is that because past conditioning has taught us to associate doubt with the bad and unhappy? Or is it the lack of certainty which plays on the ordered mind to create that sinking feeling?

I suspect doubt is actually part of the modern survival instinct, helping us to realise that a certain situation is not quite right. The prevalence of doubt in our lives means it must serve some purpose, otherwise we would surely have evolved past it.

Let's hope most of those doubts are unfounded.

Are you sure?
