Thread: What do you believe, and why?

I heard it said once the much of what we believe is just not true. we believe it because we should. because its worth believing. well I pondered that for a while and its mostly rite. but why do it. things like
the good guys always win
rite is always rite
rong is always rong
always tell the truth and it will be ok
quiters never winn and winners never quit
cops are always going to help you
people are by nature good
every cloud has a silver lining
if you don't bother them they won't bother you
all men are created equal
these are just some things I believe because there worth believing but not always true.

cool thats just the kinda stuff I was atlkin bout.
good catch 7

The good guys never win

Being right is objective

Being wrong is objective

The truth is always painful (for most)

Quitters win in any fight

Cops don't help anybody, they are more feared than anything

Good is objective

The silver lining is actually glitter that eventually falls off

Ever been stung by a wasp? Ouch!

Men are only equal in certain circles

IMO none of these are true. I guess in this case you could say my glass is half empty...

LOL well there you have it the perfect example.
you are rite Chip on every count.
yet I believe them, because they are worth believing in.
I.M.H.O. if you lose the things worth believeing in, wether they are true or not true. you lose hope. a man without hope is the most dangerious man alive. he cares for nothing, has nothing to look forward to.
P.S
ha ha ha just re-read this.
not sayin you are dangerous there Chip, or without hope. sorry if it came across that way.

Sqeaky wheel gets the grease. I believe it because it is true...but one can only get positive results if the skeaky wheel is diplomatic.


Oh another one:
Believe...and you can do anything.

I know I am posting back to back..but this is a great thread kc.....
I know that the more I brelieve that every day will be a great one the more I see beautiful things every day..Like this morning I was up drinking my coffee and I looked out the window and saw a buck ..a young one and he was eating the apples off the apple tree in the front yard..I see deer all the time but usually in the car...This deer was in the front yard for about 15 min...What a great way to start my day!
Oh yeah..the day I found out I was having twins..I saw a pair of twin fawns in the field next to mine....kool.
