To allow the simplistic understanding we had as
children, and the childish and immature attitude that
went along with it, to be shattered and transformed,
involves great faith, iri the sense of trust in a process of
growth, in the sense of confidence in the ability of
honest inquiry to lead to truth and understanding, and
also in the sense of courage.
On the other hand, avoiding exposure to other views,
and attempting to insulate and isolate ourselves, is as
clear an expression of doubt as I can imagine.
