Lies and truths

What’s the difference between lies and truths? What’s the difference between people who believe and those who don’t? Of course, these questions are connected. If we imagine that lies and truths are lost in the void of existence or the solitude of a desert, the consequence is the same, and we can conclude that lies or truths exist only if they find an echo or provoke a response.
We can believe in something or not for many reasons. There are two important reasons. First, some people don’t try to ask for information and believe in anything if this information is according to their thoughts. Secondly, some people question because they are cautious and ask about everything. This is the difference between lies and truths: the one who receives information.
Lies are disseminated many times until they turn into truths. Is it possible? We can say that the Earth is flat many times, but to convince people it is necessary to avoid that people try to prove it and keep them in a bubble. Thus, if lies are repeated they can turn into truths. First of all the recipients must believe in this information. Maybe, someone who lives on an island and there is no way to receive the right information and make contact with other people.
What’s more, lies can be a weapon in the hands of dictators or people who believe in a kind of dictatorship that is convenient for them.
The battle between lies and truths is the battle of information and disinformation. It’s a kind of power. The wrong interpretation of truths can provoke the materialization of lies.
It’s not only disseminating lies to turn them into truths. The void of truth is filled by lies. Is it possible to count a story in a way that turns truth into lies or lies into truth?
We can imagine that everybody is looking for a happy ending and people tend to believe in lies because they are too lazy to search for real information. So, the truth is a topic that everybody believes for many reasons. The truth is coherent, can be proven, and it is possible, but it is slower. The lie doesn’t need anything and is faster. Lazy people are ready to absorb anything if they don’t need to think about it. Lies fly faster because they are light while truths are harder and heavier because they carry knowledge.
Lies need to have logic and they need a perfect space to be accepted. Lies may evolve and deceive some people but their lifespan is short, and fill a space inside some people.
Lies catch naive people and then they take their thoughts and survive. Other people feel comfortable because they believe in them. Truths don’t try to catch naive people because they are, they exist and others will try to refuse them.
Lies are a cult and truths are an open sky.
