+To effectively exist in the world, we _must_ take some things for granted.
+
+If we did not, we would sink into the quicksand of endless possibility.
+
+Since we are constrained by our finite faculties, we have to _choose_ what we spend our limited attention on.
+
+It doesn't matter _what_ you believe in, what the story you tell yourself is, as long as you don't have to consciously
+think about it. Your set of stories don't even need mutual consistency.
+
+In fact, _any_ set of stories becomes plausible, given the frame of reference that manifests it (the beliefs that your
+environment generates, the fabric you exist in).
+
+And so, if you're able to alter your perspective sufficiently (the lens that you look through), you can believe in
+**anything**. And **everything**.
+
+Everybody.
+
+Yourself.
+
+Like I do.
+
+The only thing we truly have is ourselves.
+
+It's all just you. Me. Us.
+
+So let's stop fighting over what we believe? Ok?
+
+Cool.
