I guess a good sub question would be how do we know if our beliefs are actually false? Doesn't faith in our beliefs lead us to not be able to recognize when those predispositions are false?

Suffering is more or less caused by false beliefs & unrealistic expectations, so if we are suffering, it is time to question our beliefs and expectations IMO @patrickulrich. Faith in things that make sense = ease, faith in falsehood = poor choices > mental illness > delusions.
