Life not only prepares us to believe; it also often prepares to disbelieve. Sickness may do it with its attendant gloom, or moral battles fought and lost in secret or something basic flashing upon us in the life of someone of whom we thought the world. Sometimes doubt is born of argument, and of the clash of living mind on mind. The spark flashes when the flint is struck, and a flash illuminates the darkness. It may be a word spoken by a friend; it may be a point of view given in a college lecture; it may be a learned argument which has effects that never were intended; so, often suddenly and sometimes gradually, in ways, we can not trace and from hours we can not recall, the dark unhappiness of doubt is born.
