There is nearly nothing that can stop a group of people with a singular focus. Belief is a powerful thing. And not even just when it comes to religion. There are many causes that are full of people that believe in the utility of a goal or action. They rally around an idea and live and work in such a away that their purposes are advanced. But it is belief that fuels them with times get tough. It is belief that motivates them to get up in the morning. A goal gives purpose, but belief gives life. A person that has no beliefs merely wanders through existence, meandering from experience to experience. But in order for a situation to change you, there needs to be something for it to change. A set of views to be altered. What amazes me is that an idea gains power simply because people back it with belief. The dark is frightening because of the belief that people have in the monsters that it hides. Monsters are only as fearsome as the thought that is given to them. Belief is a powerful thing. Issues work in a contrary manner, however. The first step in fixing a problem is making people aware that it is in fact a problem. In this way, disbelief is a powerful thing. The easiest way to hide something is to convince people that it is not real. That is does not exist. The less people know, the more easily and unopposed an issue is allowed to proceed. Disbelief is a powerful thing.
