So Sad

“See? People don’t believe the truth.”
From Durarara episode I-forgot

This line was spoken during a conversation of two normal teenagers talking about this extraordinary thing that has happened to them. When the classmates of them began to ask, “What happened? What are you guys talking about?” One of the boys that experienced the ‘not-likely-to-happen-in-a-normal-life’ situation told them what has actually happened, while the other boy was disconcerted because his friend was telling the others the truth. Well, as you can imagine, the classmates didn’t believe what the boy was saying and left. It was then, when the line was presented.

But how sad is this? People only believe what they want or think it is true. Furthermore, the propagandas and commercials use this human behavior so neatly that they make people believe what is actually not true at all. I’ve always tried to believe what the others say even if it sounds unconvincing. But would I be able to believe if someone tells me they saw a Nessie? Or God? Or would I think that they were dreaming or tired or mentally ill? There is a saying in Japan that says, “Salvation will come to those of who believes.” (It’s not anything religious by the way. It is just a saying and there is no specific reference to what you should believe.) How sad will it be if I wouldn’t be able to believe what the other is saying when that person is actually saying the truth? But it is also true that the world is not always full of truths. One should be careful to not be fooled. Am I questioning all of these because of my youth? Is this a thing that I would notice it is no true when I get older? Or is it that I will be too brainwashed or tired to believe in such things? I sometimes truly don’t want to grow up.
