R Nachman on Skepticism

It is written, ‘A fool believes all things’ (Proverbs 15:15). It is good to be such a fool. If you believe even that which is false and foolish, you will also believe the truth. You are better off than he who is sophisticated and skeptical of everything.

One can begin by ridiculing foolishness and falsehood. Eventually he will ridicule everything and end up denying even the truth. As one of our greatest sages once said, ‘It is better that I be called a fool all my life and not be wicked even one moment before God (Eidiyot 5:6).
