What is Truth?

          These days, we are confused on what to believe in. Whether its the reality we experience, or the beliefs we lived upon our lives. It is inevitable for each individual to be influenced by these persuasive act of media or religious norms. The truth, is the one who gives us the conflict of one another because we live in an influential society.
          Media has the biggest impact on what to believe. Obviously, everyone of us is brainwashed by different kinds of entertainment. We don't realized whether the thing that we see is a fact or just a false pretenses. We could say that UFOs are real, and the media will prove that via a technological means. They can create a virtual image which can deceived our eyes and mind in accordance to their persuasive statements. Furthermore, it has a big contribution to Political Industry. Through media, we can watch the happenings in any Political situation and we perceived it as the truth.
          Moving on, religious groups has their own persuasion on the religious truth. They have disputed that media gives a demonic influence to us, through their observation and through the comparison of their contexts. They have said that Media especially on the "Music Industry" has the biggest contribution on influencing a drastic and satanic doings. I have seen a couple of a religious videos talking about the "rain man". This "rain man" which is always appears on the lyrics of many artists' songs, has a meaning to the religious personnels. They refer it to as the Satan, and through the physical actions on the "music videos"; viewers tend to mimic them. Those "Physical actions" have a symbolic meaning for religious experts. Because of this, I was kind of convinced that it is the truth. Not only me, but many other viewers have meditated on this.
          We are just naive living creature in this world. We are easily influence and easily believe on a certain matter. Additionally, we cannot imposed to be a perfect being in which we don't believe to anything. If there's God then there's God. If there's demon then there's demon. because of that, we believe on a certain fact whether its media or religion.
