What is a groundless belief? When you were young, did your mom tell you if you used an umbrella indoors, you wouldn’t grow tall? Or if you didn’t spit seeds when eating watermelons, the seeds would sprout in your body? They sound ridiculous, right? But I’m sure that someone must have believed them without hesitation. This is because we hadn’t developed the power of questioning anything we were told of. But as we grow up, we will find that these statements have no proofs for support. And these are what we call “groundless believes”.

And now I want to tell you my groundless belief. Many people define friendship as “Sharing bliss and misfortune together”. So do I. So when I was in trouble, I expected my friends could help me as I helped them before. But as I grew up, I found that not everyone would do like this. At first, I felt a little sad about this because it had become my strongest conviction that my friends should help me as I helped them. But when I knew the definition of groundless belief, I came to realize that this strongest conviction was what my groundless belief was.

As a matter of fact, this kind of belief is unreasonable. This is just what I thought and I imposed my belief on my friends. Maybe I clung to this belief partly because of self-interest. It was I that cared about gains and losses. What I did for my friends made whether they helped me or not became especially important for me. After I realized this, I decided to give up this belief. So now, even if my friends don’t do so, I won’t be sad any more. On the contrary, as long as I have done what I can do for them, true friends are sure to stay with me. And I also understand, giving up groundless believes is like jumping out of bounds. We are still young, so we should explore the world in different ways and get at the truth at all costs.
