on certainty 331


13.5.
331. If we ever do act with certainty on the strength of belief, should we wonder that there is much we cannot doubt?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

the ‘strength of belief’ is what?

presumably a strong belief –

is one that is not questioned

and if so then strength –

amounts to ignorance

if you act with certainty –

you act without thinking

and if you act without thinking –

no big surprise –

you don’t doubt
