BLOG 3

A belief is a value that one holds in high regard. It needs not be explained, nor does it need reasoning. A belief requires no beginning or ending. You believe this belief becuase you are taught to do so, and you do not question it. You accept it as it. Parts seem iffy, but because it is what you are taught you do not undermine the belief. People only know the bare minimum about their beliefs because it is enough to last a lifetime. Sometimes it is also better to know less about things.
Knowledge is something you must learn. You are taught things and you belive these things to be true. A scientist makes a theory and says Pluto isn't a planet, and so the text books are changed for a few reasons. Knowledge is based on proven facts and what is obvious to us. We have quidelings that we use to say what a planet is, and Pluto, after much discussion falls out of teh category. Now we know we have 8 planets rather than 9 because it is too small to be a real planet.
Truth is honesty. Honesty is when you have an unbias opinion towards everything. You need truth to find knowledge. Truth makes teh world run slightly smoother.Lies cloud our eye sight and make is harder to know if what we see it true or not.
The three
together go hand in hand. You need them all, but they can all stand alone.
