Trust
alone is often assumed to be a virtue, but without suspicion it could indeed be
a detriment. Thus, when you’re considering virtues, don’t leave out suspicion.

Looks like M. Ruchet from 42 years ago.
Trust but verify is one of the best lessons. Thomas' demand to see/feel Jesus' scars was not an act of faithlessness.
Carter, Thanks for your comments. You got close. M. Guex. I'd wager to verify trust would call for suspicion that what one was trusting might not be trustworthy.
I agree that there should always be that level of suspicion that would require taking something at less than face value until it has been able, in some form, to have survived the crucible.
Dose of skepticism: take two and call me in the morning.
Carter, Thanks. Indeed. And will do! Skepticism is a funny thing. A little bit goes a long way, yet we just have to be skeptical of some interpretations and beliefs. The 'some' is the hard part. I'll take two and have to resist taking the whole bottle.
