beliefs

I think beliefs are strange things. Do you ever believe one thing, and so you try to write it, say it, articulate it in some way, but, in the very process of articulating it you realize that you actually believe something else? Or, am I the only person to whom this happens? I’ve realized that sometimes I don’t really know my own beliefs until I try to verbalize them, either orally or in writing. It’s as if I sometimes have to say something false before I can say something true ? like I can evaluate my beliefs, see them for what they are, only after they’re out there, open for public examination.
I’ll let you know later if I still believe in this observation.
