Beliefism

We all fall for it:-) We look at a video or blog and think “That’s interesting” or “That’s true”, and we assume we know it, when we’ve only collected information. This is just a belief, which is acceptance without experience; to know, we have to put it into practice, and then we have evidence as to whether it’s true or not. Only then, our attitude and behaviour in life changes.

There are a lot of clever people out there, taking bits of information and presenting them as the picture. Religions, science, politics, social justice all do the same thing. It may or may not be intentional, but we all get hooked – addicted – in one way or another.

We may know how to make beautiful art, fascinating structures and clever inventions, all of which capture our imagination … but make us dependent.

Belief can never be wisdom.
Belief is multifarious,
having many aspects which causes conflict.

Wisdom is that which sees this silly behaviour,
and knows why this behaviour is silly.
