Do you believe everything you read/hear?

hmmm...listen read and learn....belief is another entity altogether..

 

[Minoxman]

Just wondering, do most of you believe and just trust everything you read/hear?

It happens to most people who can't think for themselves.

I kinda do sometimes myself, and just regret it later. Anybody? :dunno:

"I'd rather be relatively poor, stressed and creative and grow old disgracefully, than make money from a job that has no tangible result"

Now I believe in anything except that.

 

[jasphotography]

ok, I am a person who does not easily believe in hearsay. Information get truncated, distorted or even manipulated along the way depending on the levels of tier involved in passing the information.

I will place my heavy bet only when the information can be substantiated by recognised bodies or with valid proofs.

yeah... when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is! :think:

I think most of us have played this before.
You line up 10 persons, and tell the first person a story, then ask the 1st person to repeat the story to the 2nd person, and then ask the 2nd person to repeat to the 3rd person. By the time the 10th person hear the story, it is amazing how the story gets distorted.
(Now who wants to go for a beer?)

example:

1st person: "who wants to go to geylang for a leer?"
10th person: "who wants to go to geylang for a beer?"

Where are Mulder and Scully when you really need to convince us that UFOs exist? :dunno:

OK la, I gave up following the X-Files in Season 3

I thought Mulder was abducted by aliens and Scully went to look for him, thats why the FBI (and Fox) hired 2 new agents to replace them?
(Or were Mulder and Scully retrenched by FBI/Fox?)

103rd person:"Who took my gear when I drink my beer?"

So... what do you believe???

ignorance is bliss

how true the statement, and how much trouble has gotton people into when they seek to pursue the truth and what they believe in.

look at what the world is happening around us, and sometimes even if you know the truth, what can you do to change it?

in this case, being ignorant and indifferent allows you to appreciate the immediate things infront of you.
