I think that the most horrible acts have been perpetrated by those who never entertained any doubts about their own correctness or moral superiority. I think it's healthy to have self-doubts, at least then you have a chance of catching your own mistakes and maybe even learning from them. No one is perfect, so I don't have to be, either. Which is a thought that helps me forgive myself for my own imperfections. I think someone might have once said that suffering causes growth of character, but you know, I'd be happy to have less character... Ah, but to get back to the question, I think it is on the unrealistic side to believe you could do away with all your own self-doubts, so: you'll have to live with them. And I don't think having self-doubts means there's anything wrong with you! I think anyone who *doesn't* have them at all is more inhuman and to be feared than anything else...
