“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it”
-Adolf Hitler
OK, several questions and situations come out of this lovely (sorry to those of you who hate that world) quote by Hitler. Does this apply to EVERYONE, or just the uneducated, impoverished poor who are exploited by power hungry dictators?
I personally believe this applies to everyone. Isn’t everything just a lie? Isn’t life just one big lie?
This quote also yields a simple paradox. According to this idea, we have free will yet we do not. We have the free will of having others believe what we want them to, yet everything we believe could be or is a lie.
Now, I can be a complete pest by saying the quote is a lie itself, but good thing it’s not (atleast I don’t think so…).
