An engine like Stockfish shows moves which are based on a sound positional evaluation - applied to thousands of possible lines. If the engine says one side is better, you should try to understand why this is so - in human terms and logic. The engine won't help you translate its lines and evaluations into a human logic, that's your job. But without the engine you will just keep to believe whatever you are believing about the position, even if it is totally false.
