Beliefs are statements that we think are true but cannot check
or haven’t bothered to check. Many beliefs are acquired during
childhood, either adopting the beliefs of parental figures or
based on life as seen by a child. Often when these beliefs are
examined by us as adults, they turn out to be wrong. They often
take the form of generalisations (all xs are y) or statements
about what is possible or impossible (for us or for ‘people’ in
general).
