Real Belief

Real belief is a conviction that is present in one without one trying to believe. It is being convinced of something or some story without any physical or psychological attempt. When one is said to really believe in something, one believes in that something completely and wouldn't let that belief down because it is impossible to do so.

How should one believe in something? What is the reasonable way of belief in something? Should I lie to myself and believe in something I really don't? Can somebody enforce their way of belief on somebody else? Should I try hard to convince myself to believe in something? Personally I don't agree with all of the above. Not only that I do not agree with it, it is illogical, unreasonable and against God given nature itself because as I stated earlier real belief that has to come from deep within by really being convinced about it. Otherwise it would just be lying to oneself.

Let me try to reason that Idea. I strongly believe that I am alive and I have a deep conviction about that. I also do believe that I am writing this article right now. I am also deeply convinced about that too. Now if I try to disbelieve the fact that I am writing this article right now, try as I may I do not think that it would be possible. Now that is what is called real belief.

The same goes with believing. It should just come naturally. One shouldn't try to just believe in something. There is no such thing as saying "now I am going to believe". It is plain preposterous. Because if you really believe it it would be impossible to disbelieve even if you try. Just like I can not disbelieve the fact that I am writing this article at this moment however I may try.

Yes the term belief is that simple and people still go to wars over it. Killing for the sake of belief is overriding the already installed God given rule of instinct that God installed in us that killing someone is one of if not the greatest sins anyone can ever commit. I think that all Holy Books agree on that matter. May we ask what is it that that makes them go to wars for the sake of belief? For the other not being convinced enough of something that hasn't sunk in for that individual? Wow! This for sure backs the statement that God was really disappointed with his creation, namely man!
