I will make all decisions and actions based solely
on what I have today as a starting point."

Simultaneously, I accept that my vision
is based on only my opinions and prejudices,
and I honor all points of view and value systems,
no matter how different from my own.

My thinking is that belief/believing is a very missed used word.

Before we reach its height.
