Do you believe; and why?

In the example I provided, the person could easily "justify" their belief because it comforted them. The problem is that the belief they hold is not grounded in known reality. They may be happy, but have opened themselves up to believing all sorts of things that aren't logical.

Not to get too philosophical, but aren't we all living in our own personal delusions? haha.

I think many people trick themselves into thinking that humans are, by nature, logical creatures.

After all. We wouldn't believe something if we didn't have any logic behind it, right?

There's a reason every single person in the world is capable of justifying their beliefs, whether that be to themselves or to others around them.
