A healthy way of looking at beliefs would be to think of them as something temporary, until something else shows up that contradicts them or make us doubt them. The problem we humans have, after all this manipulation, is that we operate from a condition of fear—people who say they are not fearful, but still abide to overall agreements, are usually those who are the most fearful because they are not even in touch with their own fear. Usually, people build their beliefs around what seems safe in an unsafe reality, so they can find some kind of peace within themselves. This often involves giving their power away to someone else—someone or something outside themselves that can keep their fear in check. For example, people might say, “I trust the government to take care of our problems—that’s what we elected them for.”
