Why don't we Believe?

We are a society of disbelievers, not just of religion and faith, but of everything. Naivety... That is a word I use often, and not because I like it, but because it so perfectly describes the affliction that affects the majority of us. We choose to ignore the obvious. We don't heed warnings, and then we wonder why we suffer the consequences. We are a society of doubting Thomas'; a society that sees believing as a weakness. The only weakness in believing anything is that you cannot force anyone else to believe. One must understand that there is an enormous difference between naivety and stupidity. Stupidity is believing everything everyone tells you. Naivety is not believing anything anyone tells you is possible. The most intelligent and humble thing for a person to do is to believe that anything is possible no matter how impossible it may seem.
