Bingo, the doubt. Does it lead to angst?
Initially, it can very much so, yes, especially with regards to indeterminate truths. Inevitably though, reasonable doubt leads to truth in every ordinary circumstance and as a bonus also avoids the loss of face associated with committal to falsehoods.

Now, while we can never be certain of a thing, we can at least be reasonably confident. It is also important to understand that when we have no way of knowing one way or another, there is little point fretting over something ^^ Japanese have a saying for situations like that: "shou ga nai", which basically means "there is nothing that can be done about it". It is a form of surrender that enables one to move passed situations they are powerless to resolve on their own. Once we come to understand and embrace that, doubt becomes rather comforting and encouraging.
