Do you believe you are right about everything you believe?

obviously some things are clearer to you than other things but almost all of life is perception so one can never be too sure. certainly when offering views of how god created the world – to say you understand the underpinnings of the nature of existence is probably a tad arrogant – I was always taught in yeshiva to say “I don’t understand Rashi” rather than “this Rashi makes no sense”

Anybody who believes he/she is right about everything he/she believes is an idiot. See, e.g., Donald Trump.

Rabbi Avigdor Miller Z”L was once asked “What do you think of certain groups of people who believe that only their beliefs are correct and only the way of life they chose is correct, and everyone who disagrees or acts differently is wrong?”
Rabbi Miller answered ” That is the way it should be!”

This should presumably be taken at the level of “Yiddishkeit or some other way of life,”
but at the level of “my way of Yiddishkeit or yours,” we should presumably apply
“eilu v’eilu divrei Elokim Chayim” (both are the words of the Living G-d).

One of the Chevra: “Rabbi Avigdor Miller Z”L was once asked “What do you think of certain groups of people who believe that only their beliefs are correct and only the way of life they chose is correct, and everyone who disagrees or acts differently is wrong?”
Rabbi Miller answered ” That is the way it should be!” if you believe something is right or you chose a way of life, hopefully you think that your beliefs are correct and your way of life is the correct way, and anyone who believes otherwise is incorrect!””

I agree with this! The idea that there is no such as absolute truth is a goyish, western one.

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.

If not, why do you still believe the wrong thing? Why don’t you change your mind?

Because although it’s likely that some of my beliefs are wrong, I don’t know which ones, and each belief, on its own, I think is. correct.
