What If Everyone Suddenly Stopped Believing in Anything?

Imagine everyone suddenly decided that nothing was real. Not your favorite toy, not your family, not even the sky. If no one believed in anything, then what would happen? It might feel like the world went quiet, or maybe it fell apart. People wouldn’t know if they were happy, sad, tired, or hungry because they wouldn’t believe their feelings anymore. That’s why belief matters: it helps us make sense of the world.
