Why is the truth so much harder to sell than lies?

  • People had much rather believe a lie. If a lie is told often enough, it becomes the truth. Also, if we play fast and loose with the truth, it loses validity. With all that said, truth is still a powerful force to be reckoned with. "They shall know the truth, and the truth shall make them free.

    Because most people can't handle the truth.  The truth is too difficult for them.

    Because sometimes the truth might force them to either take off their blinders or act... and that would take effort.

    So it all boils down to being lazy then?  I do agree that thinking is hard work. That is why so many folks cede theirs to anyone who will tell them what to think. Just do as you are told. Just say what you are allowed to say. Memorize the script. Never ask questions because that would imply something is questionable. Defend defend defend defend any attack from any source that challenges your beliefs. That is also programmed and robotic and that is required is being oiled often enough so the mechanical parts don't rust.  Thank you for your reply Shuhak and Happy Friday! :)

    People are gullible and it's far easier to believe a lie than face up to the truth Rosie.....politics exists because things can easilly be embellished and/or distorted by political advisors.....

    Every day in every way the inhuman being aka the bogus bonespur prez does/says things that are dangerous to our way of life. He is destroying everything we held dear and his toady sycophants cheer him on. It is a nightmare of huge proportions D and getting nightmarisher daily. When does the inhuman bogus bonespur prez start a nuclear war? He will you know. He is edging toward but just hasn't gotten around to it yet. He has John Bolton there to egg him on. Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday!

    You cannot make people see what they refuse to see.

    Period.

    If they lap up lies, they are not going to see the truth no matter what.  They are addicted to nonthought and knee jerk reaction.   They are going to take us all down the drain of the cesspool that is Trump and his sick wad mind.

    Because lying is a survival mode for dysfunctional persons and dysfunctional people tend to believe a lot of the junk that they hear and read about. 
    National Enquirer anybody?  Fox News? Religious Right? ...

    You know m'dear I have always been aware of the tinfoil brigade. The crazy fringe who live on the edge of reality and see conspiracy everywhere. They believe the earth is flat. There was never a moon landing. The Holocaust never happened. There is no such thing as climate change. BUT finding out that 40-41% of the American people support the inhuman being aka the bogus bonespur prez? That is beyond terrifying/horrifying. That is no longer a fringe. That is almost 50% of we the people.  The crazy fringe is now mainstream. Thank you for your reply Kg and Happy Friday to thee! :) This post was edited by RosieG at May 25, 2018 9:03 AM MDT
