    I’m always wondering is how I became an independent thinker. I have a hard time understanding how so many people are so gullible

    You may not think this way, but I’ll comment just in case: Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you are too smart to fall for a lie. The smartest people in the world have blind spots, and only the blind think they have none.

      You’re absolutely right. It can be difficult navigating this world, even with best intentions and sharpest of minds.
