Strength of Beliefs
|
weak beliefs |
Uncertainty may still exist in your mind. |
|
strong beliefs |
You've managed to CONvince yourself that something is true |
In the Word Axis section later I will show you a comparison of words we use everyday and how they relate to the word BeLIEve.
Sometimes you come out on the correct side of a belief,
but the fact that there are so many wrongs only "cheapens this word."
BeLIEving is a LIE to yourself more than it is a lie to others.
Mixing trust and belief are "dangerous."


Sure...to find the truth, we must BeLIEve.....
Examples from the news
Madeleine Mother named as suspect (BBC) - She said: "They believe they have evidence to show that in some way she's involved in the death of her daughter, which of course is completely ludicrous. They have suggested that blood has been found in a hire car that they hired 25 days after Madeleine was taken."
One British tourist shouted: "We believe you, Kate."
