Convictions

We would believe the lies,

if said with pure conviction, 

for, the words feel wise,

devoid of hidden intentions... 

Yet, those were the moments,

we need to substantiate,

before falling into the trap,

swayed by their emotions. 

For, world have seen growth,

in fields of sharing knowledge, 

we now have the opportunities, 

to gather data and information. 

So, let's not follow blindly,

have enough confirmations,

by relying on multiple sources,

helping in their verification. 

A true expert would allow,

giving facts for comprehension, 

with its scientific understandings,

for us, to take informed decisions. 

Still, there are many gray areas,

where faith governs the diction, 

scientific evidences too are limited,

not reaching any conclusions. 

But, that shouldn't be the criteria...

For our convictions!
