I have found that sometimes, when in doubt about something, it can be useful to stay in a state of uncertainty and think about all the possibilities of your decision or actions.  Rather than trying to come to a hasty conclusion or plan of action, careful consideration of the question in mind can bring a far more suitable answer to what you are questioning.  This can also even save time in the long-run.  And it can be more beneficial by coming to a well-thought out answer to your query.

Thinking deeply about the important decisions we make is always a good idea, especially when it affects other people’s lives in some way. “Hasty” is rarely a good word to describe any decision-making.  Even in small decisions, if there is doubt, it is there in your mind for a reason. 

If one does not consider answers carefully, it can be seen as if one does not value another person’s interest in your opinion.  This is truly unfortunate because it demonstrates that it is of no consequence to you whether they are interested in your response.

In other situations, a bad decision can cost you, and possibly others, financial distress.  It can cost one’s reputation to be tarnished or even damaged beyond repair.

Doubts about anything, are there in your mind for a reason.  Until a person discovers what that reason is, careful, conscientious consideration is in order.  There is no such thing as being too careful in decision-making.

Sometimes it is okay to be doubtful.  In situations with family and those close to us, silent, active listening can ease the doubt in other people’s minds.  Just being there for another person can help him or her make an important decision by easing their doubts.  Either way, with ourselves and those close to us, doubts can be lessened and better decisions made, just by staying in that state for a while.
