Suppose there is a market divided by two ideologies. Regardless of their school of thought, people acquire credit notes representative of trading ability (i.e., money). Now, one ideology encourages its people to cash in their currency, to make tangible good on the credit and know it has worth. The other, however, expects its people to retain their credit indefinitely with the idea that the credit itself bestows value and worth, and can even consider attempts to question the value or backing of the credit to be disrespectful or wrong.

For someone to honestly believe something, that something should have tangible, realistic proof. It seems strange to me that people filter the world through belief systems rather than tailor their beliefs to truth. To sit on unspent mental currency is not a sign of strength, but ignorance.
