Why Should Anyone Believe Anything At All? - Part 3

An example of belief:
We reach in our fridge for a glass of milk.
We believe the milk is fresh.
If the milk is NOT fresh, we realize our mistake once we begin to drink it.
We have acted on our beliefs and found we were mistaken.



For futher information about this subject please refer to the book that I got my ideas from.

That's precisely why I always check the "expiration date", and refuse to drink any expired milk. Just me.


I suppose this translates into a type of skepticism, in that I don't trust anything just based solely on my own opinion. I need some other reinforcement.


What might that say about me?
