System of coordinates
Every person has a conviction in a certain arrangement and order of things in the world. These convictions form the carcass - a personal core. Convictions define vital aspirations of a human being, the sense of his existence, help to feel well-grounded and finally give sense of commitment. I suppose it is suitable to call it a belief.
A distinctive feature of any belief is hidden in the idea that it doesn't demand the answer to the question 'Why?'. You believe, because you start feeling yourself complete and valuable. You believe, because you feel it is right. In short, you believe, because you believe.
There is no people with convictions. To have no conviction is impossible. It doesn't even matter if a person is a nehilist. He, himself, believes that all moral claims are void of any truth value. And that is again his purest conviction and belief.
The one that considers career to be the greatest value in his life lives in the different system of coordinates compared to the one who believes that family is the most important. Of course, one will try to disagree with me paying my attention to the fact that everything should be in combination: family, career, self-realization, etc., but when we stop becoming so idealistic and transfer ourselves to real life, it becomes obvious that our life is limited to time resources and everyone defines what he finds of the highest importance, defines where his efforts should go, and, in this respect, other aspects become supplementing.
No matter how you slice it, efforts are directed mostly to one goal, other goals are subordinated to the main one.

Abstraction in psychology Carl Jung's definition of abstraction broadened its scope beyond the thinking process to include exactly four mutually exclusive, opposing complementary psychological functions: sensation, intuition, feeling, and thinking.
Together they form a structural totality of the differentiating abstraction process. Abstraction operates in one of these opposing functions when it excludes the simultaneous influence of the other functions and other irrelevancies, such as emotion. Abstraction requires selective use of this structural split of abilities in the psyche. The opposite of abstraction is concretism.
There is an abstract thinking, just as there is abstract feeling, sensation and intuition. Abstract thinking singles out the rational, logical qualities ... Abstract feeling does the same with ... its feeling-values. ... I put abstract feelings on the same level as abstract thoughts. ... Abstract sensation would be aesthetic as opposed to sensuous sensation and abstract intuition would be symbolic as opposed to fantastic intuition. (Jung, [1921] (1971):par. 678).

Lichens. abstractions. Endless pattern. Different but the same.
This is on a basalt rock about 2m by 1m and about 80cm high, sitting among Chinochloa tussock grassland and Phormium flax on the top ridge line between Flagstaff and Swampy. Very humid, very often foggy, covered in clouds. These lichens (or thier ancestors) have (presumably) been 'fighting' for real estate on this rock since the last ice age.
