I know there are trees and sidewalks outside the window because I see them, I believe that there are sewer and water pipes underneath the ground outside the window, but I do not see them.  Both  are as there as they can be, but I can’t use the same words in both cases because believe and know mean different things, but what is the difference? Easy to know and believe, but how can one believe, yet not know, or know, yet not believe?  That can be the case, you know. At least, that’s what I believe. 

I neither saw nor do I believe that certain presidential votes were thrown away, but I do not know that.  But some people do believe that, but no one, I believe, knows that although some will insist they do know that.

No one is free to believe that what is, is not, but that happens all the time, and some believe that what is not, is, and that also happens all of the time. 

Is there any hope? Will humanity ever know what is, always, and what is not, always?
