What I Have Been Exposed To

I've noticed...that I believe things that I have been exposed to.

That has a number of implications, doesn't it?

Besides the fact that I don't believe in things I've not been exposed to, wouldn't that have to mean my beliefs are relatively limited...that is, to my experience?

Which would also mean that something could be true, that I don't believe in, simply because I haven't experienced it.

At the very least, humility about the realities of truth is in order.  Judgments about people with different experience really are not only often misguided, but also fraught with opportunity for harm...to those people, not to mention myself.
