Dan:
I see... I've never read Haidt so I googled him... what I've seen
hasn't impressed me but perhaps I need to read the book you suggest,
although I must say, the title doesn't engender much confidence that
I'll find anything of value there.

Dan:
I recently watched a wonderful interview with Carl Jung where he
talked about the difference between believing something and knowing
something... if you're interested, it is found at:

Anyway, I suspect he's saying the same thing as Marsha. Don't try to
do something and do not believe in anything.

Do it.

Know it.

So I see your question as starting at a point of weakness... relying
on the faith in belief rather than upon the hard rock of knowing. If a
person believes they know something, they don't. And if they know
something, there is no reason to believe.

Thank you,

Dan
