From Politicians to Influencers: The Lies We Believe and Why

This is a publication based on the suggested topic proposed in the Hive Learners community through their discord, which on this occasion is "FOR A REASON".

Welcome to my blog.
Today the topic to try is to lie for a reason, and it is very interesting because, as human beings that we are, we can have different reasons to lie.
It is not the first time in history that we have seen how lies are emitted by anyone.
The example that I want to highlight and that seems more common to me is the one that we all know, that of the politicians who during the electoral campaign times are dedicated to making us promises.
I can talk practically of the politicians in my country, as they have told us that we are going to have a better life.
Many Venezuelans believed in the promise in the year 1999 of the commander Hugo Chávez Frías, who was an emerging military man who had given a coup d'état and who had those revolutionary ideas that were going to be able to make us have a better country.
Most Venezuelans believed in that speech of this character, and giving this root to all those promises to have a beautiful Venezuela, to have a large, productive, independent, and strong country, they would become dust.
We all know how the country is currently, and it is precisely because we believe in all these lies of this person, of this character, who used his demagogic speech and his politickery to deceive all people.
In this case, it was a lie for him to be able to perpetrate in power, as he usually does with the different types of politicians in different places in the world.
There are other types of lies that are when we are forced to lie to save us from a situation of life or death.
For example, I have had to say, for example, when they have tried to attract me with a gun pointing me in the face, that I have money or that if I have possessions, simply to be able to make time for someone to appear, a policeman or something that would give me enough time to have the criminal so that someone would come to lend me support.

And I have risked my life. I have had to lie on that occasion, putting my life in danger, but precisely that is what has kept me alive.
If I had told that criminal the truth that I did not have money, on top because he would probably have exposed me, that he would have shot me, or I would have been hurt, and I would not have to tell him that.
There are other cases in which lying is also necessary when a relationship is put in danger or when we are in front of an authority.
It usually happens in cases in which, for example, we have to declare taxes, and to evade these high taxes, people lie and say that they have generated less amount of money.
Then they are lying to benefit.
There are other cases also that very frequently appear on social networks.
Today we have the most recent case that I want to mention, the one of this character known as Frank of the Jungle or Wild Frank, who is the character who made many programs in Discovery Channel about animals and nature, that rescued animals and took care of all animals.
And we see that he is recently involved in a great controversy precisely because a few days ago he came out giving statements that everything he had done and said was a Lie (here the expiication)
That that was simply a character that he had hired, bought all the animals in his farm, and that he is not a veterinarian or has experience high-level expertise taking care of animals with the necessary knowledge.
And this man had a farm, a sanctuary where he had the animals, and it turns out that these animals he told people that they were rescued animals, and recently made the statements saying that all these animals were bought.

All this great lie was discovered, and of course now he is with very low morale and is subject to public scorn after many years of being a famous television character and an important YouTuber and someone who really is an influencer on social networks.
Then this is a sample that lies sometimes are necessary to feed the ego of a person or maintain their lifestyle, and other times because they are justified to save lives, as in my case.
What I want to point out is that lies will always be discovered sooner or later and that they are something that are part of the nature of the human being.
And both those influencers who sell you products telling you that they are good and that they are a wonder, and in reality they do it only because they are paying you to do that promotion, resulting in that those products are really bad, until one as a common user who puts lies, I think it is something that is in the nature of the human being that comes with us.
And I cannot say that it is good or that it is bad, it is simply something that will continue to.
Many times it is necessary, it is necessary that there are lies to be able to discover the truths, and I think that one depends on the other.
It is like that there cannot be light if there is no darkness, because one thing depends on the other. So they are not excuses, but they are things that are axiomatic from my point of view.
And this has been my dissertation for today about lies for a reason.
I hope you have enjoyed it and that it has served you as learning something new or that it has taken you to other places that make you reflect and think new ideas.
Thanks for reading.

Hi @manclar, interesting topic the one about lying. You explain it very well, people lie for different reasons. In the case of politicians they lie because lying works and they do well. Freud told, I think based on the Golden Bough, of a tribe that when it came, for example, a drought, the witch-king was punished by the people until the rain came back.
The case of this man of the jungle, I did not know. But as with publicity, people lie for money. I am very amused by the ad of a millionaire soccer coach who appears in an ad saving 30 dollars in a hotel room, because he did his search in one of those web pages where we poor people look for tickets and lodging when we go on vacation.
Anyway, there is the one who lies and the people who believe the liar 🤥.
A big hug.
The world works that way, there are trees and there are people who cut them! (I love getting fear) 😀
Wild Frank is Spanish, well known the truth and is currently sunk to the neck for all the lies he has said for more than 10 years.
Tribal beliefs are very interesting, that of the sorcerer king finds him really fascinating.
Believe or not believe? What do we do my dear Hamlet?

I don't know if the tribal experience is real, or maybe it's just my version of a true story. Although I think it is true and it is a custom that should be taken up again.
That is, if a bureaucrat has many rewards, good salary, official cars, lives in a palace for making the world a better place, it is only fair that there should be punishment when the world goes wrong. In the tribal case, if there is a drought, the king should be stoned until it rains.
It is fair, reward for what is well done; punishment for what is badly done. That is my opinion.
Yo quiero asumir que la experiencia tribal es legitima.
Y alli aparecio el arbol joder, con sus ramas y sus conspiraciones, el anti sistema, el anti gobierno.

Y como la religión católica, si no crees en dios, te vas al infierno por pecador! 😅

Wow amigo no sabía acerca de estas personas influencias..muy interesante esa es la otra de la moneda

Everything is discovered in this life, you don't have to lie to achieve your goals. At first you can get what you want by cheating, a fictitious joy.
That's right, Chavez was discovered and Frank's Cuesta too
