Wizard's first rule


"People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's head are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool."Thank you Robyn

I agree with that but it isn't necessarily the person's fault for believing if people just give them misconceptions. Sometimes people are also mislead into believing something.<3 AXK

"...they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true."Does that sound wrong to anyone else?

Nope. It's true.

If I was afraid of it being true, I would believe it.What kind of logic is that?
