Convictions are an interesting aspect of people's beliefs.
However, there are different types of convictions.
In the interest of trying to keep this blog free from ambiguous meanings:
Example: The universe exists.
Example: I have never been killed before (just in computer games).
Example: Aspirin cures headaches.
It cures most of times, anyway!
These definitions are not necessarily the ones to be used by everyone. They are a personal preference. They are also the ones used in this blog. ;)
However, there are different types of convictions.
In the interest of trying to keep this blog free from ambiguous meanings:
Absolute Conviction:
A belief that you already know will never change, regardless of any new information you may get.Example: The universe exists.
Certain Conviction:
A belief that can change with new information or facts. A certain conviction, however, has the particular characteristic of having 100% of all facts and information pointing at its claim.Example: I have never been killed before (just in computer games).
Conviction:
All the other beliefs. These convictions may just be less than 100% certain. Like this one:Example: Aspirin cures headaches.
It cures most of times, anyway!
