"信じないことは疑いを信じることと同じです。"
— Thomas Hobbes
Simplified Meaning:
When someone doesn't believe in something, it means they trust their doubts instead. Think of it like this: imagine a person who is unsure about their ability to learn a new language. If they don't believe they can learn, they are choosing to believe their doubts. They are convinced they won't succeed, which makes it hard for them to even try. It's like being at a crossroad and deciding not to go down any path because you're not sure which one is right. This inaction is a belief in the fear of making a mistake. To apply this idea in life, whenever you face uncertainty, instead of simply giving in to your doubts, try to take a small step forward. For instance, if you're uncertain about a new job, believe in your capacity to learn and adapt rather than in the fear of failure. By doing this, you avoid getting stuck and give yourself a chance to succeed.
