Magicians and Politicians

The magician holds his wand in his right hand and the eyes of the crowd follow with full attention while the trick is executed with his left hand.

The politician holds papers of economic and social evidence in his right hand as he speaks with great intent on reform and the crowd are moved by his execution while his left hand is behind his back with fingers crossed.

Not much difference is there between politicians and magicians? The similarities do not just end there. If we are watching the same trick over and over again, it ends up feeling a bit tedious. And we all smarten up towards the execution.

To some certain extent, bloggers wield a potentially dangerous weapon in their hands without even knowing it. The problem lies that they probably write about current affairs without realising with their magic wand (the keyboard) without realising they've successfully executed the 'trick'. If they repeat their 'trick' too often, people soon smarten towards their actual intent. But the damage is done.

There are always two sides of the story in life - my version vs. your version.

We're probably both right to our beliefs, but we're probably both wrong to a third party.
