Quote by George Orwell

“But when war becomes literally continuous , it also ceases to be dangerous. When war is continuous there is no such thing as military necessity. Technical progress can cease and the most palpable facts can be denied or disregarded.”

“Just because an eloquent, articulate and well-spoken person is sharing something, does not make what they are saying, true. Just because someone can relay information with an engaging, exciting or enticing delivery, does not mean what is being said is fact. Deciding what is true based on only emotion and not connecting with logic, looking up facts and researching for the proof behind it, can be very dangerous. Back it up before you buy into it.”

And this comes from the realization that there are some opinions and some beliefs so incredibly inane, we may actually on occasion feel insane for not believing them; and that is probably because in giving the benefit of the doubt we self-doubt, we convince ourselves into lame passivity and blind acceptance, we tell ourselves, 'Maybe I'm just missing something here.”
