Where do your beliefs come from?
Beliefs play a pivotal role in every facet of our lives. From what we do to what makes us happy, from what upsets us to the things we buy, from our daily activities to those we call our friends, our beliefs are a deep part of our behaviors. But what's behind these thoughts? Are you the original creator of your beliefs, or do others play a role in their creation? What has influenced what you believe?
Religion. One of my biggest morals is you can't kill anyone unless that person had intentionally killed another.
