Beliefs, values, and attitudes are fundamental components of human psychology. They significantly influence individual behaviors and decision-making.

There is generally a desire for alignment among beliefs, values, and attitudes. They collectively motivate behavior and provide an underlying drive for individuals to act in a manner consistent with their principles.

Therefore, understanding people "below the water line" allows individuals to be more patient, enabling higher levels of forgiveness and grace.
