What do you mean by 'Belief'?
Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Most of our beliefs are
based on misinterpretation of past experiences, or other people’s views. In fact, most
of us do not consciously decide what we are going to believe. Most people treat a
belief as a thing, whereas it should be considered more as a ‘feeling of certainty’.
Our whole concept of God is based upon belief. It can be said that we have a ‘feeling
of certainty’ that God exists. This ‘feeling of certainty’ must solely depend upon the
writings of certain historical figures such as Roman historians or Jesus’ disciples. But
can we be certain that these writing’s are factual or even predominately true. In 2000
years time, what will be written about the 20th Century? How much will be true and
how much will be misinterpreted? The only true belief is in yourself.
