Imagine you think the sky is blue, but it’s actually purple, and no one has ever told you. That's like false belief. Sometimes we believe things are true when they’re not, just because everyone around us says so. It's kind of like believing your whole room is upside down, even though all your friends say it's normal.
Examples
- You think the sky is blue, but it's actually purple.
- You believe your friend lives in a house, but they live in an apartment.
- You assume the Earth is flat, even though it’s round.
