Knower p5

"If a man who cannot count finds a four-leaf clover, is he lucky?"  ~Stanislaw J. Lec

When we were going over definitions one of the student's words was Belief. We got into what is belief and how it differs from truth, proof, justification, religion, facts, and experience. Trying to move on we were told to write down our thoughts on belief.
I wrote:                       ~Belief~
 An animal can have a feeling, but how we define it as relation among humans shouldn't transfer across lines of different understanding and how different species may have different neural systems and thus have different ways of translating how an animal might experience an emotion, but to what effect and how influential they are on the individual's actions.
