It seems as though most of our realities lie within our belief in the matter. When there is a lacking in belief and in faith, the reality seems to be nonexistent, absurd, and utterly insane. Those who believe and those who do not, have different views on things, usually having seldom in common other than definitions. For example, the definition of dead would be that of not alive, not living. Though there may be the few and far between commonalities the differences in beliefs can be, there are still the differences.
Throughout history, there have been differences in beliefs amongst everyone and anyone. It did not matter whether you were poor or rich, traditional or nontraditional, Republican or Democrat or even Liberal. Having differences seems to be something that runs in the blood of everyone. We all have a different point of view on things. There is not one person who is exactly like someone else. Granted, there are identical twins with which their genes, their deoxyribonucleic acids, are identical, however, their personalities, their characteristics, their hopes, their dreams, their goals are most likely not identical. Similar, quite possibly, identical, most likely not. It is on this basis that having differences is a given fact, a belief we all share, in fact. But for what accord?
Were we created so as to have differences, that some view to be extreme and likewise? It would seem to be quite possible that these differences, not just our genetic differences, but our personalities, views, aspirations, and even passions. With all these differences, it would seem as though maybe we are encouraged to learn acceptance, patience, compassion, empathy, and so much more. But that would arise the question of how we are to learn these said things that we may be encouraged to learn by this greater power? Yet, is there even such a thing as a greater power?
For each and every human being, the ways of learning are vast and differ in so many ways. There are five ways of learning: verbal, visual, tactile, kinesthetic, and aural. Verbal learning is through copiously taking notes, copying their notes, writing in the margins of texts, and even through paraphrasing things back to people as a way of translating the information into their own language. This type of learning is one of repetition. Visual learning is through picturing things in one's mind, drawing on things, making symbols for things, having timelines rather than due dates, and even highlight. This type of learning is done through seeing a pattern. Tactile learning is through the need to touch things and figure out how things work by taking them apart. This type of learning is intuitive, and often times the individual is a risk-taker who makes logical leaps. Kinesthetic learning is the need to manipulate things and physically change things to see the result as it actually is. This type of learning is similar to tactile learning in that physical objects are welcomed more than theories and hyperboles are welcomed. Aural learning is that of remembering everything that has ever been heard or read, as though the individual is a walking encyclopedia. This type of learning is that of studying hard but once it is learned, it is held on to forever. Everyone learns differently and at a different pace.
All the more differences found in each individual, it seems as though it brings another commonality, a similarity in the realm of things. We are all different within each realm of a commonality. We all learn differently but it is simply a way of learning. We all have views on things but it is a belief nonetheless. The differences we have make us who we are. They make our world what it is today. Whether someone shares a belief with someone else doesn't make them any less of a person.
Everyone has a view, a belief, about everything. It's what they do with that view, that belief, that can change the world, forever.
