"Few of us take the pains to study cherished convictions; indeed, we almost have a natural repugnance to doing so." I don't understand "our cherished convictions"? What are they? When do we have to study cherished convictions? is it correct when we are invloved in a litigation? sorry I have check the meaning of conviction in my dic but cannot understand the sentence. |

Hi Fortune!
I think "cherished convictions" here refers to cherished beliefs (e.g. believing in a higher supernatural being such as God...in fatalism..etc) that people hold. You can find the meaning in Merriam Webster online. Carol |
