The Maiden

One feeling with which I have commonly identified myself is that of confusion*. It has always been surprising to me how people are so sure about things. The surprise is even more when they make their minds based on facts from the media/third party. I have seen facts being skewed/deleted/created to suit one party/sensationalize/generate propaganda/ garner votes - everything you can think about but giving the truth.
Is it that they are gambling- putting their bets on a particular source to be right? Is it they are believing whatever they want to believe? Is it a mix of both? [SCARY]Or is it that I am very skeptic and pessimistic? [\SCARY]

*confusion : state of not being able to make up one's mind
