why is easier for people to believe lies


than it is the see/hear the truth?

I don't think it is easier. People,... Shallow and narrow minded people in particular, only see what is on the surface. They do not look at situations from all possible angles. I always tell children or ask them how thhey know for sure. If they say that is what I heard or that is what everyone is saying, I asked them to dig deeper and come up with a better reason. They need to know for sure before they think the worst of people.

People thrive on mess. They love gossip, the juicier, the dirtier and more scandalous the better. They often don't think about whether it's true or not. They just like to be entertained and they can't get enough.
