What if we dare to question our beliefs? - Part II

There are so many things that we believe today, that today we assume as true and immovable. There are so many concepts so deeply rooted in our mind, our soul and heart. Many of us do not question them, we do not dare. And it doesn't even occur to us! They are so our own, so everyday, they have been so present since we can remember that we get used to them, they are ours and no one else's, or many more?

Yes, that is precisely why many of our beliefs are so strong: many believe them and we all reinforce them, remind each other and confirm them. That's why when someone dares to ask **WHY? AS? SO THAT? FROM WHERE? ** The majority is shocked, surprised and does not understand how he could have the guts to reason, to doubt and to question.

But that is the daily task of every human being, at least that's how I see it. That should be one of our objectives: analyze, reflect, question, think, meditate on what we believe. It is up to us to know why we believe what we believe, to know the root of our way of seeing life. Not to be left with doubts, with those existential discomforts, not to drown that spiritual, emotional and intellectual disagreement.

Once I did it, I took the risk of contradicting my beliefs, questioning my faith, and having been a lifelong believer in the god of Christianity, today I consider myself an agnostic. But it's not just about religion. In my case I am always questioning even my way of walking and in the next post I will do a second part responding (in a personal way) to the initial approaches of this publication.
