REASON AND BELIEFS
Apparently, and using the greatest possible will to understand our humanity, scientific rationality came into existence to save us from the obscurantism of beliefs, to which we passionately cling, even though many of them are toxic and produce abominable results, however, Let's agree that it is too simplistic to blame everything that goes wrong in the world on the human passion for beliefs.
After all, if scientific rationality really came into existence to save the world from obscurantism, we must believe in it with the same passion with which we cling to any other beliefs, that is, for reason to save us we must strip ourselves of rationality and surrender to a type of conviction (belief) that, clinging exclusively to the evident evidence that is perceived by the sensory organs, needs to mutilate a good part of the human subjective experience for this, which, in order to exalt the irrational belief in rationality, must always continue on the margins, being treated as a fifth-rate experience.
And so, the rationalist scientific ideology that came to save us from obscurantism, produces another type of obscurantism, more modern, which serves to discriminate people, exalting the rational and treating the irrational as inferior.
Once decisions are made internally, they will become resolutions and thus you will not see any difficulty in doing what is necessary. Until this happens, everything will continue to be difficult.
