Soms wil je graag dat er iets zou veranderen (bijv. baan, huis, relatie, spel). Ik kijk nog altijd naar huizen op Funda maar zie nooit iets beters.

Perhaps, the benefit of the doubt relates to a conflict between consciousness (eg, ratio) and subconscious (eg, emotion). Probably, doubt is settled once a side has “won”. The benefit of the doubt relates to all three domains: Love, Knowledge,...
