"الشك مثل العفة لا ينبغي التخلي عنهما بسرعة."

Simplified Meaning:
Being skeptical means asking questions and not believing everything right away. It's important to keep this attitude, just like it's important to stay pure or cautious. For example, imagine someone tells you about a fantastic investment that sounds too good to be true. If you are skeptical, you will investigate more before giving them your money. This way, you protect yourself from being tricked or losing your savings. Just like being careful in relationships can prevent heartache, being skeptical can help you avoid problems and make better decisions. Being too trusting, too soon, can lead to trouble; it's better to take your time and be sure of things.
