Thought #6 - The Evolution of Belief: From Trust to Questioning to Balance

June 23, 2024 | Mridun Gupta

It's fascinating to see how our views evolve as we grow up — from trusting everything as kids to questioning everything as teens, and eventually finding a balance between faith and reason as adults.

This journey reflects personal growth and our search for deeper understanding in life. I'm talking about how beliefs change as we mature: from trusting in God as children to questioning things as teenagers, and then viewing beliefs with both faith and logic as adults.

As children, we often trust in things like God without question. As teens, we start to doubt and question everything, including our beliefs. Now as adults, we may still believe in something greater, but with a more reasoned approach.

This evolution in beliefs shows how we grow and learn about the world around us. Do you relate to this journey? Where do you find yourself now? How has your experience shaped your perspective on belief?
