Which do you prefer? A lie? or the Truth? Now really ask yourself this question. We are taught from a very young age that lies are wrong...yet we find them littered throughout our society, our government, and our way of life. I'm not being too picky here, because marketing and advertising must use this tactic of lying to lure us into their product. But isn't that exactly what we all crave? the product. Whether you are democrat, republican, or independent, our government has continuously used what they believe to be what we want to gain power...and the hilarious thing is...we give it to them...we give them POWER. Is that because we truly believe their message? Or is it because we WANT to believe their message? Either way, we let ourselves believe the lie. Why is that? Its because the masses prefer a lie than the truth. Now here's the real question...why is that? Its simple really...it boils down to the basic human need for...Hope. Hope is what makes us persevere, its what makes us persistent, and its what we want to believe is the future. We all hope for a better future and that's a fact.
But if you ask the ordinary individual if they prefer a lie to the truth...they'll almost always say they want the truth. Is that so? Its all a product that's being sold. Has there ever been an instance where that WASN'T the case? Lies and Truth are based on human perception and politicians have mastered the art of 'lying' to a point that there is 'some' truth in it. So why do we buy it. The same way be buy everything else. We're told that one retailer sells a product cheaper than another...so we go there. We're told that you'll save more here than there...so we go here. Why is that? Because we blindly believe the lie, because (and this is the most important aspect of my point) we'll save more...MONEY. That's what its all about. Our ideals now have a price tag, at the expense of our ignorance...and we buy it. And why shouldn't we? A person is intelligent, aware, and able to see the truth of things; PEOPLE, however, influence the masses and make them believe those 'lies'. The truth nowadays...is rare, but not entirely absent. So which do you prefer? the lie...or the truth?
