One of my favorite sayings is, "It's easier to believe than to know."What I mean is that anyone can believe anything about everything. Belief requires nothing but belief.
On the other hand, to know something requires effort. The effort to challenge your belief. The effort to seek and assimilate knowledge outside of yourself. The effort to educate yourself in an area in which you are ignorant (meaning that you do not know).
The effort is all the difference.
Are you willing to make it?
It's nice to have the courage of your convictions; but it's harder and more rewarding to have the courage to challenge your convictions.
Make the effort to know. You'll find rewards you never expected.
