What do I "believe?" Ah that is the problem; I have opinions that
change from time to time as I learn things, and some of which I act as
though I believed, since I am highly confident of them, but I try very
hard to "believe" nothing. Belief is a pernicious thing -- it is a view
of the world deeply embedded in the subconscious that people are not
even aware of, but around which they base their lives, and which creates
great unhappiness when it comes into doubt (both fear and guilt) as
well as anger and resistance.
Opinions are a better thing entirely -- we have them on the surface and
can examine them whenever needed and aren't attached to them nearly as
much (only ego is involved with opinions while the very basis or our
lives is involved with beliefs).
