And truths, these days, are spoken The same way promises are made, With gritted teeth and crossed fingers.

About This Quote

This quote is a great example of how information has become so diluted that it often comes with an implied threat. Today, access to information is more difficult than ever. In many cases, the information you need to make your own decisions is hidden from you or manipulated by those who have something to gain from its propagation. In other cases, the information is given to us with the expectation of a result – "You will lose weight if you eat this." – and we are left to wonder how the person who gave us the information thought we would believe a promise without a guarantee.
