Gotcha!

Human beings by nature tend to neglect objective evidence, facts, prior information and previous experience. All those bits of relevant information that are so very obvious in immediately catching a lie, are ignored by us. I think I epitomize these aspects of human error.

This one is for all those who claim I'm gullible. Not that I disagree with that. But on some level, everyone is gullible. It is ridiculously simple to manipulate others into just about anything you want them to think or believe. Naivete has nothing to do with it, it is simply the ability to sound convincing enough. I tried it with a few friends, primarily to see what it felt like being on the other side. Also because they had me crazy worried with a stupid prank two days back, that me being me fell for!

I realized you can get anyone to believe what you have to say, just by coming across as..well,believable. It's beyond me why I dont try it more often. It has such a fun and silly element..and silliness is good! I think a large part of it has to do with the fact that I appear to be 'nice' and 'genuine', something which for some strange reason, a librarian recently told me! So why would anyone have any cause to disbelieve me?! I did not anticipate the tears though. My apologies for that and thank you for caring.

Well, next time it will be a nasty and elaborate prank and I will go all out to master the art of making you look and feel 'ultra-gullible'.

No, I certainly wouldn't like to live amidst pound-millionaires..not for a second. Besides, I enjoy those midnight walks way too much...
