Equation: Seeing Through Doubt

In doubt,
I concluded,
‘No one is trustworthy,
No one is reliable’

And asked,
‘Is there anything
‘Trustworthy?
Anything reliable?

NO!
Nothing is trustworthy,
Nothing is reliable,
Nothing is permanent neither.’

And then,
At once
I fell into
Despair

But then
I realized,
If nothing is trustworthy, reliable
Or permanent neither, then

Despair too
Is untrustworthy,
Despair is unreliable,
Despair is impermanent

And as this sank in,
Very slowly
A smile
Appeared,

For if
Despair too is
Untrustworthy, unreliable and impermanent,
Then it’s not a problem.
