We Live In A System Of Beliefs

We live our lives, in my view, based on our values. We are surrounded by a massive belief system. Some values are so easily incorporated (into our world) that most people believe they are normal and embrace them without question.

Since the construct that is built in your head right now is logical and of the thought mind, the act of reading this article is belief-based. Perhaps what really is exists not only as ideas but also as a reality in the present moment. Even if one may explain or conceptualize a reality, the conceptualization is thought in and of itself.

Beliefs have a lot of strength, particularly when the majority of people believe in them. When a certain belief is set in motion, it can often cause catalytic reactions that lead to the creation of new beliefs. Layers upon layers of convictions gradually obscure directness and reality. Life becomes overly complicated and ritualized because it is too densely laden with convictions and too far away from its original spontaneity.

The following are some of the major values that operate in our world:

When we are, in truth, far more than that. It can be difficult to untangle this assumption. And realizing our true existence requires a long sequence of self-discoveries. This conviction has a far broader reach than can be articulated in this paper. As a result, I’ll leave it at that.

War is born out of values that justify large-scale violence towards others. Since nature and animals do not participate in war, it is a belief. Since it was invented in the human mind, and it isn’t normal or necessary to human circumstances, only humans do it. The military is a side effect of war.

The idea that money brings happiness is widely held. Happiness does not need money to be realized; it is simply a belief that one has created for oneself! Money created a belief in prestige, which breeds competitiveness, which breeds the rat race, which causes one to work for the rest of one’s life, and few people know that the original meaning of life was for joy and fulfillment.

A person’s value is determined by factors such as financial wealth and social status. In highly hierarchical cultures, this one causes a lot of pain. This one is linked to the phrase “money buys happiness.”

In our civilization, it is a widely held belief. Perfection is regarded as good everywhere in this universe, whereas imperfection is regarded as evil. Everyone wishes for everyone else to be flawless. Is there such a thing as utter perfection? I don’t believe so.

It is relative, in my view, and is the product of human conception. Perfection is merely a concept. The situation is as it is. Perfection and imperfection are two principles that are related.

The country is nothing more than a belief in land ownership. In essence, since humans did not build property, no one owns it. Patriotism is a belief that stems from the word “nation.” There is no need for patriotism because there are no countries or conflicts.

The above article on beliefs is simply a collection of my thoughts. It is by no means conclusive.
