Meaning
This reads as an argument that uncertainty and conviction are not enemies of good storytelling, but part of its shape. Doubt brings openness and friction, faith gives force and direction, and together they make a story feel lived-in rather than schematic. It lands in fiction that feels human because its characters are torn between hesitation and belief.
