No?
You know, it’s not surprising that you said no. But I will never know the truth, right?
This is how public opinion is built. He does not need answers. He needs the right questions. The essence of these questions lies in the fact that no one knows the answer, except for who these questions are about. But this character will prove nothing.
I was always very upset when the reputation of famous people spoiled due to rumors. If the rumor has got inside the society, then it can’t be pulled out from there no matter how hard you try.
And if the rumor is scandalous and bright, then peoples also really want to make a funny joke about it.
As a result, a lie, especially a crazy and disgusting lie, becomes an integral part of the image of a person. Just because a crazy and disgusting lie is easy to remember and always interesting to discuss.
The rumors about Michael Jackson hurt me the most. Remember this scandalous HBO movie? Have you watched it?
I do not know if these rumors are true or not. I do not want to touch this, I do not want to understand this.
Therefore, I am doomed to live with an eternal question in my head: is this person a pedophile or not? The court decided no.
But our subconscious mind is not a court. The subconscious knows for sure that I have no idea who Michael Jackson was.
And when they ask me: “Is Michael Jackson a pedophile?”, I, as a normal person, can only answer honestly: “I don’t know.”
And you know what's scary? The answer "I do not know" is enough.
Because it is precisely on ignorance that our questions are calculated. It is in the dark corners of our ignorance that suspicion, hatred and anger are born.
If we, as a society, were better, we would avoid such questions. We would not ask them, would not discuss them and would not let them into our lives, we would just look at the cold facts. But we cannot do that.
Therefore, questions will be asked, forever sprinkling public figures with dirt that no common sense bleach will remove.
