I find it so interesting how beliefs about reality literally seem to shape reality.
If people believe in God, they literally experience God and even have a "personal relationship" with God. I do not believe that these people are lying when they claim these things about their reality.
If people believe that people are stupid, they will literally find themselves surrounded by examples all the time that seem to prove their belief.
The people who believe that people are all innately good, though, seem to find only evidence of the goodness of people.
The mind is such a powerful and mysterious thing. But can we trust it at all?
Can we trust anything at all to be real or truth when we can perceive it only through our minds? Can we perceive only through our minds?
Maybe it's not even important to find "truth" but to invest in beliefs that have proven to have positive results. Such as compassion and love.
Do I think too much? Maybe. It's fun for me though :)
