People are idiots; they really are.
They will believe anything they hear.
I see it all the time.
Someone says something,
like a rumor or something,
and then someone else jumps to conclusions.
Next thing you know, everyone's unhappy.
For example, a guy and a girl are going out.
Well, someone tells the guy that he saw the girl with another guy.
The other guy's her cousin, but the guy doesn't know that,
so he assumes she's cheeting on him.
They get in a fight over it, and he breaks up with her.
Both are terribly sad and upset,
but there actually isn't anything to be upset about.
The girl tries to explain the true story to the guy,
but he of course won't listen,
since guys often have incredibly thick skulls.
Classic example of something that happens everyday.
That is why people are idiots;
They like to draw conclusions without knowing the full facts.
Rumors, too, are an evil creation of humans.
someone hears something,
relays it to someone else,
while adding a little extra on to spice it up,
and all the sudden you have a story
about a girl getting sent to the nurse because
she was caught sucking blood from tampons.
Yes, that rumor really did happen in our school.
Ruined the life of the girl;
some people still believe the story was true.
Heck, even I thought it was true at first.
After all, who makes that sort of story up?
I mean, it's just so totally disgusting!
It's like a big game of telephone, rumors.
Plus, people's memories aren't as good as they think.
A small fact altered, forgotten, or accidentally added in easily happens.
Put a bunch of these errors in, from bunches of people,
and all the sudden the story is completely different.
Yet, people are still inclined to believe everything they hear,
without even questioning it.
Sure, they do question it if it's super absurd,
but after hearing it a bunch, they even will believe the absurd things.
besides, most rumors are possible to occur,
so that's why people don't question them.
but, everything you hear should be questioned,
unless it's coming from the original source.
But, heck, even the source can lie!
So, can we really believe anything we hear in this world?
I think not.
Question, question, question!
Only then do you have a chance at learning the truth.
