Certainty: The tendency to over-look one’s own fallibility.
Certainty is a mood. Just as I can feel emphatically the paranoia of a meth addict, I can feel the overwhelming Certainty of this young, portly lady who is my sister. It is usually the result of not having thought things through.
The mood is entirely arbitrary. It is available irrespective of any kind of validity. The tests of Reason, if employed, would totally dispel it as hubris. Yet one will always find evidence for any conviction. The later in life the Doubt, the harder it is for the Conscious to struggle with Disbelief.
