Convictions

The environment that surrounds us provides scores of information brought to us through our senses.  Multiple systems operate in concert to help organize and filter this information.  The central nervous system (CNS) ultimately will process this information, and we have thoughts, emotions, opinions, actions or reactions (movement), feelings, desires, memories, and all sorts of things processed in this CNS. [ the skeletal system, muscle/joint, skin, respiratory, digestive, circulatory, waste removal, and reproductive systems are a few other]  Once we have these systems up and running, a series of beliefs defined as "a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing" is formed.   Mental acceptance it might be called.  A "belief system" evolves producing firm convictions that we hold to be true.  Hum...we all share this common thread...convictions.
