Belief

Each one of us believes in certain theories which later becomes the principle of our life.
And then we probably live with those principles throughout our life. But do we really evaluate the theories before following them?
Do we ever think what if there is other dark side for the theory/belief? Simple example I had my own theory and believed that “If parents are nice the kids are nice as well”. Yeah it sounds quite right and logically thinking looks true because kids tend to learn from their parents. Well but then what about the terrorists, Gangsters, Killers? I guess at least 50 % of these guys might have had parents who must have been absolutely good and kind human beings. My principle was probably true for 60-70% but then believing in it 100% would be little risky at times. Each act, each belief and each fact has many more other sides. We tend to follow what is easily visible or what probably is convenient to follow. This belief or the principle we follow has a major role in deciding our behavior. How a person behaves/reacts in a given situation depends on the belief/principle he or she has been following in their life. So it important we evaluate, justify, experience and then follow. It may not be right to blindly trust anything or believe something unless we our self experience it.
