Belief vs Imagination

Well, because of the nature of the mind, everybody believes in an exadurated and inaccurate way that whatever they sense must be truth because it FEELS so true to them.

After all, to go against what our senses tell us is to lose trust in the only thing we have to gauge the world with. However, we MUST never trust our own senses explicitly and with no reason. We must always double-check, then triple-check anything our senses tell us because oftentimes what our senses tell us is interpreted through our imagination and through fear. Because of that, it is very easy for our senses to fool us.

Above our senses lies a brain which holds a great capacity to change, mutate and warp the incoming information because of our immense ability to imagine. Imagination can be a powerful thing to initiate hypothesis, but if we take hypothesis as fact without experiment we have foolishness. Unfortunately, some people place as much weight on whatever their own imagination feeds them as they do to their senses.

It is my belief that when one trusts their imagination over their senses, over reason and over logic - that is what 'Belief' is.

Belief is a sick thing to listen to. It leads people in random directions, because it is based only upon imagination. Sadly, there is no way to prove this to people if reason and logic have stopped being effective tools for them.
