Such is the power, some are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice,
whichever 'side' of the belief divide they occupy.

Beliefs, it is clear, can determine how many choose the way they live
or die.

One the 'living' side of the equation, they have potentially equal
power, are all 'self created' regardless of the exposure to others'
beliefs.There is always pressure to comply, to support others beliefs,
but nobody can compel you.

Beliefs form from the interpretation of self dialouge, so when part of
that dialouge repeats "I believe we or I will never know", the mind
acts accordingly, and rejects any evidence to the contrary.

The science of 'auto suggestion' is well established.

Many claim to have an open mind, but at the same time, repeat such
mantras. This causes enormous stress. Attempting to serve two
masters.Their feet planted firmly on the accelerater and brake
simultaniously.

To simply change such inner dialouge to such comments as "Just because
I dont know now, doesnt mean I wont develop the capacity to do so'
opens up a whole new level of understanding. It loosens the pressure
on the brake, and the journey becomes more meaningful, and far less
stressful.

And the best news is, it costs nothing to do so ....
