false beliefs

False beliefs are convictions or perceptions about the world that are incorrect but personally held as true. These beliefs can stem from misinformation, misunderstandings, or cognitive biases, and they influence how individuals interpret information and make decisions. They are not deliberate but reflect the mind’s tendency to accept certain ideas without sufficient evidence. False beliefs can impact behavior and judgment, often leading to misunderstandings or faulty actions. Recognizing that such beliefs are not intentional allows for more compassionate engagement and opportunities for correction through evidence and open dialogue.
