Any time you go into a movie theater to a greater or lesser degree you are "suspending disbelief". Many people who are single (and a few who are not) go out on Friday or Saturday nights get drunk and "Suspend disbelief" with whomever will go to bed with them.
But, I think here I'm talking about what you want to believe in versus what you actually believe in. The problem occurs when what you want to believe in overcomes what you actually have been believing in all along, whether that is a religion, a country, a person, a philosophy a relationship, a marriage, a family, etc.
So, what I'm saying is: What happens when what you believed in is gone?
Do you off yourself? Become an alcoholic, drug addict, do you drive your car off a cliff? What do you do?
These are important questions and why testing one's own belief systems is actually a better idea than one might think. Because if what you believe in cannot stand up to what you need it to be no matter what it is, what good is it?
So, testing one's beliefs (if one is brave enough to do this) might be a life saving exercise (your own) in both the short and long run.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
