For most, the world is myths and rumors, unproven facts and untested assumptions. The value of money is the collective faith that everyone has in it. Love is the belief that others really love you, something you hope never to have to prove. Religions demand we believe in personalities we have never met in human form. We cannot see the air that we breathe. To question all these things is an assault on one’s own personality, that network of assumptions that informs how you see yourself in the world. Rejection of apparent reality is not for the faint-hearted.
