A belief does not change
Cannot change
An idea can change
Sometimes does change
Semantics you might say
Sadly not
Why sadly?
Because we have so many beliefs most of which we have never even looked at
Whether it is about race, black and white
Sex, male, female, homosexual, transsexual
Religion, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jew
Nation, Americans, Russians, Israel, Palestine
And there are so many more
For sure you have at least one belief about something listed above
And this belief colours your life
It influences what you read, watch and listen to
It is so much easier to listen and watch people who think as you do
Unfortunately things don't change much until our politicians have reason to believe that we are fed up or no longer accept a particular belief about something
Try Israel and the Palestinians
What is your belief about this subject?
Whatever it is it shapes your world view
It influences so many things from the so called war on terror, to oil, to money
Have a look at this www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/fisk/robert-fisk-why
Not your usual article on this subject and why is this?
Can it be that people's beliefs might be disturbed?
Examine your beliefs they matter to you and to others because how we feel about something can influence what happens
So check out your beliefs not just about Israel and the Palestinians but about other things too
Time to embrace ideas and let go of your beliefs maybe?
