I agree with Jeffrey Kluger when he states that people get manipulated by pictures and inflammatory quotes because I have seen this many times in life. When people at work spreads a rummor and the rest of the employees agree or believe these stories. After the truth has been told to them they dont want to change their opinion on how they view things.They rather stick to it their own beleives because they think that the rummor or lie is the truth.
Similar situations happen when a preacher or pastor at church says that people should do stuff that he strongly believes in, or someting thats was written in the bible. I have seen it over and over again . Some people instead of going to church to pray and thank god for giving us health and good life ,they rather listen to a preacher at a chruch tell them that they should give half of their salary or ten percent of what they make so they can be forgiven for the sins they have committed. while the preacher is trying to make people beleive all these things are true so that he can afford an expensive life style like nice cars and clothes from the people that gave these money for other purposes like helping homeless , hungry people . while the pastor travels in a fancy brand new bmw to go to church the beleivers that pay to listen to this man go to church by train or walking, and when you tell them that maybe this pastor might be a fraud they get upset and wont talk to you anymore because they think the person thats is telling then this things are going against their believes.
In my opinion i didn’t know people had to pay or give some of their hard earned money in order to be forgiven by God. these are things that some people constanly do.Instead of find out the real facts about the situation they beleive rummors and lies.
Not bad, but you forgot to add the summary! We also need to work on finding more reasons and examples.
ReplyDeleteThat's a classic!
ReplyDeleteYou illustrate the statement perfectly with your own example. I won't bother to bother you with the facts, lol.
