How can any of us even know what to believe anymore? Our culture’s full of so much phoniness and deception. Companies advertise products to make us believe that we will be more beautiful, more healthy, or live longer by consuming their products. We are seduced by lovers who feed their porn addictions when we’re asleep. We’re taught to believe that if we work hard and take risks, that we can achieve our dreams, yet youth unemployment is the highest it’s been in decades. Fairytales tell us that true love exists, but half of all marriages end in divorce. Shannon Mullen
About This Quote

There is so much misinformation and lies in today’s society. If we were born, raised, and educated with the knowledge of the truth, we would never believe what we are told by advertising companies, politicians, and media outlets. We would only believe the truth and learn that fairy tales do not exist and they cannot be trusted.
