belief follows pleasure.
belief is the enactment--the spreading out in time, the repetition--of aesthetic dispositions.
without the pleasure, there'd be no repetition.

I agree with you, roachboy... at least, for my own life. But then you have so many cases of people who engage in repetitions without any aesthetic pleasure. Perhaps it is even ugly for them to do so. But they continue. Where does their belief come from?
