The Man Who Believed

This is the story of a man who believed-not always in the same thing but in something. As such it raises the question: do some things such as eating, voiding, evacuating, growing two sets of teeth, having red hair, dying, demand belief or are they so natural belief isn't necessary? If someone asks if you believe in love and you say No or if someone asks what do you believe in and you say Nothing, is nonbelief then an act of believing, a conundrum, a high school word game? The man, woman or child who believes thinks what he believes is true or has the possibility of being true. He doesn't think what he believes is false or likely false. The person who believes something is true or likely true will act on it. Is there then one truth or several? Is it not possible there are several kinds of truth, logical, empirical, theoretical, practical, religious, irreligious, scientific, tragic, comic, fictional? One thing; whether or not this novel is true or likely to be true, it is not cynical. It may look like it at times but it's not.
