Honesty or comfort?

So many strongly held beliefs. I wonder. What holds you together under very stressful situations. I misplace my wallet and I’m ready to sign any confession. In life, is it necessary to have some strongly held belief, (Christianity, Humanism, or any of the thousands of religions) in order to survive. And what of the man who sees nothing? We are born. Marvel at the wonders of life. Love. Have children. And die. Of course such a man, so I’m told, does not exist.  But what if his view of life is true? Do we dare entertain it?
