thinking is undermining

Albert Camus says beginning to think is beginning to be undermined.

This is specifically in reference to tragedy’s ability to provoke suicide. However – and this is arguable – once you consider any position long enough you will see an alternate version of it, which will undermine your primary position.

To think is to decrease your blind faith by abolishing an innocent or naïve acceptance.

One must consider as well the zealot and mad-man, who think excessively and have an irrational faith beyond reason and must wonder if this is actually "thinking" or if true thinking is multiple perspectives dismantling monistic thought.
