Belief is the strongest force on the planet. It can start wars, enconflicts and break apart nations. It can make some things seem more important than anything else, and others look like the scum of the earth. Of course, I'm mostly referring to religion. But it goes deeper than that. Everyone needs something to beleive in, or we might as well fall over and die now. If we don't believe in anything, or we believe something negative (about ourselves, or others) there's nothing to strive for, nothing to aim for. For example, I believe I'm going to fail my politics exam, whether I revise or not. I believe college isn't for me, not just the subjects I chose. But I beleive that I can make something out of myself. I believe that there's something in my brain I can use, along with my hands, to do someting amazing. I want to do something with my hands, because I've been doing a lot of manual labour recently, and I've enjoyed every second of it. Except it's repetetive, it doesn't engage the intellect that I know I have. So I decided to have a bash at opening my laptop. And that, I enjoyed thoroughly. Just working like that, working out where everything went, and which bits did what, and the processor itself was a huge point of interest. I mean, there's more processing power than eighteen thousand calculators in one single proccessor chip, and there's over a dozen of those. I find that sort of thing absolutely amazing, and would like to work with that kind of stuff. I'm repeating myself, I think.
