And to add to this (which is really the critical component of pyrrhonist thought that differentiates it from all else), the understanding that all such impressions are subject to change leads one to the recognition that the only way to approach life is to live adoxastos -"belieflessly". It is your belief in certain propositions, contentious as they are, that is the source of your worry and philosophical anxiety. This should not lead one to the dismissive understanding that so many critics and laymen have that an embrace of pyrrhonism leaves one debilitated and incapable of action. On the contrary, Sextus counsels that the follower of the skeptic way is more capable of adherence to customary practice and public mores than the average person who may find the grounds of their belief shaken by doubt, because he lives without any such belief and simply follows what appears to him in that case to be right. The difference between the pyrrhonist and the ordinary man is in the realm of belief and not in action.
