“Only the one who doubts can truly believe.”

Soren Kierkegaard

Simplified Meaning:

When someone questions or doubts something, it means they are thinking deeply about it. They aren’t just accepting things blindly. For example, if someone is told that a bridge is safe, they might doubt it at first and check it themselves. Once they see it is well-built and strong, their belief in the bridge being safe is much stronger. This means they truly understand and trust it. In life, questioning things can lead to a stronger understanding and more solid beliefs because you have taken the time to see the facts and think for yourself. This way, your beliefs are based on real understanding, not just what others tell you.
