"Yet to bring this about I will not need to show that all my opinions are false, which is perhaps something that I could never accomplish. But reason now persuades me that I should withold my assent no less carefully from opinions that are not completely certain and indubitalbe that I would from those that are patently false. For this reason it will suffice for the rejection of these opinions, if I find in each of them some reason for doubt"
The statement above to me was the main idea and focus of everything. Descartes states in order to have reason to things, you must have doubt. This statement is pointed throughout the text of part one of Meditations.
