The power of lies
In a society where very feeble and powerless old ladies can be beaten to death based on the most bizzare, unfounded and baseless accusation that they possess spiritual powers to destroy young and energetic people from achieving their aspirations, any baseless lies could be swallowed as the truth.
The gullibility of our society in accepting any trash as a matter of truth promote lies as a very potent weapon of mass destruction. Speaking the truth about situations and people forms part of the mores and culture of our people. Our society cherishes very high moral standards to ensure that spoken words are sacrosanct because they have to meet the ethical criteria of truth and telling lies about somebody without any evidence is regarded as a serious offence. Speaking the truth about people and situations is regarded as a hallmark of a person with self-respect and integrity.
