there are two kinds of doubt: good and bad For me, doubting is a sign that a person sees something in a whole new light. It means that he is making a stand about something. It can also mean that he either wants to level up his faith on you or wants to downgrade it. But bottomline is, he wants to clarify things up, right? care to share any wisdom about doubt? :) Well, as you can see, I'm in a great dilemma right now about something concerning the concept of doubt. so thanks for all who'll reply. :)

Doubt means you do not believe in a certain things because it hasn't proven and you have the thinking that it is impossible to happen. When you doubt that includes investigation and asking questions, until your doubt is gone. i don't get about the good doubt and bad doubt, I can't explain, I can't understand that. What is good doubt, meaning you are doubting but in a good way. Okay like for example a mother and a son, for example today is the mother's birthday and he received a card or a present from a messenger, she will doubt that the present came from his son since they were just living together, but the son denies, but she don't believe it, is that a good doubt?

i think doubt is dependent on how much you give or value trust. if you are a very trusting person, doubts are minimal. but if you don't give your trust that easily, doubt comes naturally. because of the hardships and heartaches i have experienced in life, you can't blame me if i do doubt people and stuff. but once you have gained my trust, more often than night it would be hard to break.

Hi mskzalameda, I believe that doubt is always good, it simply means we need to find out the truth for ourselves. It is doubt that brings change, without it people would still believe that the world was flat or that the sun revolved around the earth. Never be afraid to doubt. Blessings.
