Woorden zijn zelden genoeg om erin te geloven. Al te vaak zijn die woorden eigenlijk betekenisloos door een gebrek aan daaropvolgende daden. Mogelijk is dat de achtergrond van de uitspraak: zien is geloven. Intenties zijn echter zelden zichtbaar. Vandaar - waarschijnlijk - de variant op bovenstaande spreuk: voelen is geloven.

In 2016, I published my blog Fear and the 7 Belief systems. For a long time, I felt that an update was necessary. This update is like a (total) make-over.
