Certainty

People say you have to know what you believe in.
Right?
What the hell does that even mean? How can you know what you believe in it? If you knew what you believed in, wouldn't you know it? That sounds really stupid, but think about it. We believe in things that we can't understand to a certainty. We believe in things that we cannot know. So how can you "know" what you believe in? What someone really means when they say that is you better be able to explain your position. Have the facts. Use rhetoric and logic to formulate your ideas. I think for anything worth believing in, logic and rhetoric don't really have a place.

Let's say you believe in God. I do. When ever anyone talks about God, they have hundreds of reasons or whatever, but that isn't why someone believes in God. They believe in God because they believe in God. No fact or tid bit of evidence made them want to believe in God, they started believing in God because they felt it. It just appeared or it happened over time. But they definitely were not convinced by someone else's facts. Facts don't make believers, people make themselves believers.

I'm burnt from school so that's all I've got for my hypothetical readers. Which at the current moment probably don't number very high, but someday this post could be read by thousands. Kinda weird to think about.
