Damages or benefits in beliefs
Sometimes, beliefs can be harmful or beneficial, and there are a couple of examples which can be mentioned. First, the case of the Hermansons, who were accused of killing their daughter because they did not give her proper medical treatment. Instead, They prayed for her recovery. If the child had just been treated hours before her death, she would have lived. People should not be too dependent on their beliefs. At least in this case, a child paid the consequences. On the contrary, Norman Cousins's case is different. He was diagnosed arthritis, but he never gave up. In fact, he believed that if he had a positive attitude and positive emotions, some of his symptoms would heal. Indeed, he lived longer than the doctors expected; something which might not have happened if he hadn't followed this belief. In summary, the Hermansons and Norman Cousins had a belief, but it is clear when this belief can be harmful; reason why people should think more about what they believe.
