People are stupid... They will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they're afraid it might be true.
Terry Goodkind
Image
But in the end, we can’t live our lives by ‘what if’ and ‘if only.’ We can only do the best we can to the best of our ability based on what we know. That’s why the truth is so important.
