People will ultimately follow those who make them feel at ease and who are consistent—when sincerity and patience endure, even if they spread slowly, they leave a more lasting impact than noise.

This is precisely the harsh reality: rational communication is inherently expensive, while fabricated narratives are cheap and efficient. The problem isn't whether we "talk enough," but whether we use our limited time where it has the greatest impact.

The key is not how forcefully you refute someone, but how effectively you connect with them. In an environment where social media amplifies sensational statements, directly correcting someone often only triggers defensiveness and reinforces existing positions.

True candor is not confrontation, but accountability to the public. When journalists and commentators are overly diplomatic when dealing with government officials, the problem is not politeness, but losing the stance of "for whom to ask questions."

The real challenge, therefore, lies not in "proving it wrong," but in how to get the public to value honesty, restraint, and critical thinking again. Otherwise, no amount of facts can overcome a lie that makes people feel "understood."
