There is a toothpaste commercial where it is stated that 4 out of 5 dentists recommend Colgate toothpaste.
What people don’t get is that the same 4 dentists could also recommend Crest, it is not an either-or situation.
For me, it is the same with opinions. I can have two different opinions that I have different degrees of confidence in. It is only when I am making a decision that one of the opinions will win out over the other.
It is the same with beliefs. I can believe that honesty is the best policy, and I can believe that I am responsible for the outcome of my actions. It is when I am making a decision that I have to choose which of the two beliefs are more important in the situation.
