Health freak and going to school

Depends on beliefs

Why do some people eat rabbit food, jog and go to the gym? Because they believe that it will make them healthy. They also believe that being healthy is good. So why to high school students go to school? Because they believe that an education will increase their chances of finding work which will mean they will be able to provide for themselves.

Control

So what you believe influences your decisions. Why do some people not tie their shoe laces up? Lazy, slip on shoes and as a fashion statement were the answers. One student shared the conflict it would put him in if his friends smoked and wanted him to smoke. He shared that he wouldn’t smoke even if that meant losing his friends. So his belief that smoking is bad outweighs his belief that he needs those friends.

Origin and purpose

Original bang?

If a person believes that God made the world, how might that affect the way they live their lives. Students shared that a person would have a clearer faith, go to church, live to a higher moral standard because they feared God.

A person who believes the the origin of the universe is random might live for pleasure, who what they can get out of their lives.

Control

It is important to be aware of what we believe and where those beliefs come from, are they valid and worthwhile? Otherwise we will be controlled without realising it. Advertisers try and get us to believe all sorts of things like Lynx will get you chicks so that you buy their product.
