The difference hesperis is quite simple You are convinced of what you know, but as you cannot prove it to the supposed skeptics such as Bill and I, you are in fact challenging your own belief. When your feelings and actions don't match your belief, you feel angst.

Bill and I both challenge our beliefs, but the number of things that we believe are unknowable or beyond proof at this time are legion, so we have learned the simple trick of "not minding" the not knowing. It eliminates angst and then I can focus on the things that are knowable.

Ya' know?
