Neither is forfeiting a belief you know deep inside to be true because of the obligations it brings, the desire that it opposes, and the perception of the self it disgraces.

If you know deep inside that a belief is true then you will not forfeit it.  This does not happen.  You only forfeit the belief when you are convinced that it was false.
