Changing Beliefs

Tonight I have been thinking about how much control we have over our beliefs. I don’t think it’s very much. I think we charge into reality and only start or stop believing something because the truth hurts. I get into so many arguments online. None of them really hurt. Nobody on the other side of the internet gives a damn what I think. They either already agree with me or I can’t convince them of anything. I don’t change my beliefs and they don’t change theirs. I don’t think people reason their way into believing. We believe things beyond all reason and only reality makes a difference.
