Faith and Belief

Faith and belief are very important parts in our life. But do we put them in the right place all the time? Some people do and some people don't. From this perspective, there are three kinds of people that are related to belief: believers, balancers and skeptics.

Believers are the first ones to be mentioned. They are called so because to them the world is full of fate. Whenever anything happens, they immediately think not in terms of rational causes or random coincidence, but in terms of fate. Their personalities and mood is controlled by other people and things. They can easily be lured into something very bad without knowing any harm. They believe in everything, even when some of those beliefs are contradictory.

Their common quotation is: "Seeing is believing." Scientists are a good example for this variety. They see the phenomena, then they do the experiences, and they get the conclusion.

The last one is the most negative: the skeptics. To them, there are no truths whatsoever, and there are no false either. Or that everything is equally true and equally false, that people are unable to know what is true and what is false and the human mind cannot comprehend truth.
