Perhaps I’m merely projecting, but I think many of our “beliefs” are created based on the opinions of others or our own ideas. This is fine to a point, but also somewhat juvenile. If we want to share our opinions with others, it is important to do all we can to confirm those theories. Good scientists and experimental psychologists don’t just blindly accept everything they hear or read – they do their own study and see what the data has to say about it. If a belief you have is being challenged, perhaps that means there is more to find out about it. Investigating it will only bring more truth to the world; it’s ok if you’re wrong and it’s ok if you’re right. Don’t take my word for it – find out yourself.
