It's to keep you from being hungry

I recently realized that it is possible to believe something simply because someone told you facts that were not true. Here I am years later when I find out the truth I realize that my actions were based on what I thought were facts. Turns out the fact is I can not change the outcome of my actions. What I can do is learn the lesson that if I believe it without conforming it that would be like believing you can't walk just because someone said it and using a wheelchair without ever standing up to see if you can walk. The facts they were feeding you were just to keep you from being hungry for the facts.
