Watch out for "firmly believe" with *any interpretation.* It gunks up
your mind.

That's a sign.
SLAP!
WAKE UP!!!
"Firmly believe" is a formula for insanity, including sleeplessness.
You can choose to trust something with your money, trust it with,
even, your life, but "firmly believe" is a byproduct ofmechanisms
which severely limit our adaptability. It's not necessary.
Doesn't mean you are wrong, but that the stance is likely to create
an inability to perceive whatever might be contrary to the "firm
belief." We just saw a great example of that on this list. Everything
is interpreted, once belief like this is established and not
recognized for what it is, in such a way as to confirm the belief.
The powerful forces of logic and interpretation, so valuable for our
creativity, are turned to the service of the "belief."
(This is not an antireligious screed. Faith is not belief, faith is a
condition of the heart and an attitude of acceptance and trust.
Belief has seized upon text and fixed ideas, and has substituted them
for faith.)
