Logicless Logic

I am light ears ahead of you.

People seem to believe everything. My grandmother used to say my brother has "light ears" because he listens to others words and believes them easily. Some people just choose to believe whatever others say without first processing the information given. Sometimes, I myself am guilty of such uncommonsensical actions.

Here is an example, without any references of allusions. Seriously.

M: [name] is a masturbator. HAHAHA.

A: Eh why you say him?

M: You didn't know? The ATT guys caught him doing it in the last cubicle of the ground floor toilet.

A: Really ah?(with a look a semi-disbelief, yet swallowing the words, which are quite obviously false once you bother to think about it)

M: HAHAHAHA.

This is just an example of how any nonsensical piece of information could be taken quite so seriously. Imagine if someone overheard this conversation and believed M. Then he would tell someone else. Someone else would tell someone else. The story will than mutate like the H5N1 virus. The news would definitely spread like wildfire at the speed of bad news, which is faster than the speed of light. The person in question would have a hard time proving his innocence once it spreads, despite the contents of it having no evidence.

Sometimes, people are just so willing to believe anything. By the way, in case anyone thought this was an allusion despite me already stating it's not one, it's not one. It was just a sudden musing.
