We believe what we want to believe. We disbelieve what we want to disbelieve. ‘Doubt’ is a disturbing but thought-provoking story on the the tensions of certainty versus doubt, of the possibility of rationalising what we are really doubtful of as certain via self-righteous assumption, instead of being certain that we are doubtful. Yet, at the same time, our hunches might be correct. The film is also about the crippling power of unclarified doubt, which can be irreparably infectious when spread through rumours. Then again, it is also about the empowering nature of doubt, which when faced squarely, can generate the necessary strength for moving towards the truth.<\/p>\n Mind precedes all knowables, Mind precedes all knowables, – The Buddha (Dhammapada)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We believe what we want to believe.
