A monkey can't swim like a fish, while a fish can't climb a tree like a monkey. There is no mistake when monkeys climb trees and fishes swim in the water. The mistake comes when the fish decides to climb trees, or the monkey decides to go swimming.
There is little point debating on the merits of swimming vs tree climbing. They are meant for different beings. And also, everyone's mileage is different too.
So are you a monkey or fish? What is your mileage? Maybe these are the right questions.
It is also ok for monkeys who tried swimming, almost drown and then U-turn and go back to climbing trees. Vice versa for the fish. It is ok to be wrong, it is only not ok to stay wrong (or keep in your own illusion that you "should be right" about the activity you chosen)
Doubts are good. It means one is asking questions. The only thing is whether (1) asking the right question, (2) answering it truthfully.
