In the passage " I know the Truth, So Dont Bother me with the Facts" By Jeffrey Kluger;explains that as humans we have always been suckers for rumors and fabrication of fairy tales. Researchers have only recently conducted a survey to determine how sticky artificial beliefs are and how believing in them would make us free. It was then said that it would be easier to manipulate the truth in order to get what is needed. I agree with author when he says " even when people take the time to learn the facts it does no good", this is because we often contradict ourselves where the truth is concerned.
Truth is the body of real events or facts; actuality. Knowing some form of truth can be both nerve racking and unsettling for some people. Firstly when it come to speaking the truth or finding out what is facts or fiction is like weeding out the good from the bad. According to the passage is is easy to manipulate people's belief system with insulating pictures or inflammatory quotes. For example if someone tells you a story about what happen and you already heard the story from someone else, and the story ends up being totally different to what was said before to you. You now have to decide who was telling the truth and who is not and how you're going to wade through the options. Thus making it difficult to actually differentiate the truth as a whole.
Facts is the truth or reality of something. Finding out the hard facts of the truth or telling the truth is much harder than telling a little white lie. According to the passage even when people do take their time to learn the facts it often does no good. For example having to sit and listen to some rant on and on about how they were though growing up an you know for a fact that they were a wimp when you met them and they still are. Fact about this situation is the person just want their story to sound better and more interesting. Secondly some people are so wrapped up in telling lies that they believe it themselves until they can't differentiate what is the truth and what are the lies. The truth is lies and you often have to tell one lie to cover that lie and then another and another.
In conclusion people as a whole has always been duped by rumors. The truth is it is easier to manipulate a lie so it sounds like the truth.
