The trick to believing in something is to commit to it, even though it's possible that you will discover that what you have believed in was wrong. Because, doing so is, in fact, the path to ultimately determining what is worth believing in. Otherwise, you just end up not believing in anything…because you haven't actually tested the truth of anything, in any personal way.
We tend to think we that we need to know something is true first and then believe it, but I suspect it actually works the other way around. We believe first, then we come to know. And, it is the sometimes agitated, personal process of committing ourselves in belief that enables us to know.
By the way, I am agitated today...while not necessarily good for others, it is good for me to know this.
