In many industries and fields, speaking the truth isn't well-received because lies align with the beliefs of the masses and serve the interests of those in power.
When the people in power does not care about the truth and the impact of the absence of truth on the life of the people they are leading, it has become th root cause of societal issues and crisis in families, businesses, education and other public sectors that deal directly with the people. Building a society on lies has a far reaching impact the people and their personal growth
Lies are direct tools for manipulating people that's why the politicians don't stop false stories when looking for people's vote and trust during elections. People should embrace and promote room for critical thinking and exposure to media literacy
