In September 1995, whole India was mass mesmerized
and was offering the milk to Lord
Ganesha. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_milk_miracle
Then in 2006, Hundreds of people flocked to
Mahim beach after reports of sea water turning sweet spread all over the city. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/People-taste-sweet-sea-water-in-Mumbai/articleshow/1907898.cms
Again in somewhere in 2012, Jesus wept and
people made the crowd to get the tears in bottle. http://www.firstpost.com/living/why-jesus-wept-in-mumbai-the-church-versus-the-rationalist-538657.html
And there are many more news.
There are
people who invest their hard earned money
in the Ponzi schemes expecting huge ROI, which is always impossible. There believe
on stories and go behind people who are much more smarter than them. Same thing
is in multi-level marketing and try to become rich immediately. They don’t think logically, why anybody will
buy their product (say magnet mattress of Rs. 1 lacs)? Why somebody will buy
products which are almost 10 time costlier than other products.
If you go in detail, you will come to know
that only promoters have become wealthy on the money of investors.
Then, there are incidences, where people believe
on fishing mails like lottery, job and fake password change notification from
banks and end up losing their money.
People who are victims are not illiterate,
most of the times, they are educated including doctors, engineers, lawyers,
teachers etc. What make them to believe on such mad and weird things.
The question is why they don’t think
logically? Why don’t they ask questions on the authenticity? Such frauds and
scams are nonsense and people believe this nonsense. In essence, people believe nonsense because it
serves a psychological purpose. Everybody wants to be rich very fast, want to
be successful. In this process, they don’t
even think on what is right or wrong for them.
It is always better to show a simple common sense
and think logically on such matters.
What do you think?
