Regardless of reality,

If it were true, then it would BE reality.

The truth of a philosophy is not what I would focus on - I would focus on acceptance and adherence.
We already know that even those that believe something to be true do not consistently follow through with their behavior.
I am more interested in how people behave towards one another than I am in what is true.
What is true might be an interesting starting point - but it's rather impotent on its own. The trouble would come from conviction, convincing, and follow-through.
As most folks, I would probably choose my personal beliefs to be true. Because my beliefs make for a more tolerant and stable world, as I see it.
Just like eveyone else currently does!

So, you believe that acting consistently with what you believe is more important than knowing truth?

Why would you believe something that you know to be non-truth? (Unless you're a Witness.)
