We all have beliefs in something, but that means that we are formulating a trust and a conviction for that which you believe to be the truth. Some may hold it dearly to their hearts and try to protect it as much as possible but I think that it is dangerous for people to put their hope and faith into something blindly.
You live for other people, as other people live for you. The real truth about being social. I am still who I am, irrelevant of other people's opinions. People's opinion is more about them than about anyone else.
However, I don't agree with how people who give up a faith should be outcasted from a social group. However, it seems like it is human nature for us to divide and split each other into different categories and groups. Not truly addressing how we should all be equal and that essentially we are all the same despite creed colour race or anything of that sort @lukestokes.
Well said. It's interesting to think how peoples' opinions, whether we like it or not, do actually impact our thinking and our actions. Unless we escape our social nature, that will always pull at us at some level.
