Belief, Knowledge.... And the facts


Belief is the psychological state in which an individual holds a proposition or premise to be true. The terms belief and knowledge are used differently in philosophy. A false belief is not considered to be knowledge, even if it is sincere.

Albert Einstein is often quoted as having said that "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen." Most individuals believe the religion they were taught in childhood. However, even educated people, well aware of the process by which beliefs form, still strongly cling to their beliefs, and act on those beliefs even against their own self-interest.
