- MinimalAction 5mo agoI strongly disagree on beliefs and hopes are coping mechanisms. Coping from what? Beliefs and hopes are what they are. But I agree worth should be derived from understanding, not through achievement.
- alexashka 5mo ago> Coping from what? From not having the thing you hope for or believe in. I want a cookie. I'm going to get a cookie. No believe, no hope. I may not get a cookie. Oh no.
