It is well known that the spread of evil, bad news, rumors, and the promotion of false intentions is much faster than the spread of good news, good intentions, and any positive thoughts in society.
In societies, there are many ears that desperately want to hear about the shortcomings and mysteries of people who have been famous for their goodness, charitable work and virtues, and these ears are always ready and enthusiastic to hear such backbiting without asking about it, scrutinizing it, subjecting it to investigation and verification. Enough of the evil of accepting the news without asking about its source and investigating, so how can you try to publish it?!
People always tend to stay in their echo chambers, rather than actively researching and checking before circulating any information, especially if it is news about people.
The goal of this news has always been to mislead, distort and disguise other authentic and original news. The goal is always to mislead people about the truth, presenting it in a form that makes them believe it immediately. Social media is contributing much faster than before, which in turn is breaking down people's psychosocial structures much faster.
It seems that there is a psychological state that people wear as soon as they know that there is a good person who does bad deeds, and this state is represented in people feeling that this knowledge removes from them and their shoulders the burden of the need to do good, search for it and adopt it, even if the people of the earth are all bad. Some of them dwell in their conscience just because they know that good people are guilty and may happen and imperfections come from them, and this cannot be a sufficient excuse in any way to distance themselves from good and indulge in the atmosphere of grudge and evil that can prevail in society accordingly.
It is just a false psychological deception carried out by their souls, an unfair and sinful rest, but it is a psychology that justifies, strengthens and spreads evil by feeding it further. It is just one of many tricks that ourselves use to invoke a valid excuse for us not to do good things that we do not want to do.
Therefore, true or false news about the wrongdoing of those known in society for their good qualities can find customers very easily. There is a consolation that people find in knowing that there is evil within all people.
The state of society cannot be reformed and revived without striving and trying to nurture good faith as much as we want in response to the bad news we have heard about a good person, for from the moment this news began to spread, enough evil struck people's hearts.
The greatest punishment for liars and thieves is not the loss of trust of others, but their inability to trust others because they believe that everyone is like them. Lack of trust is indeed a great punishment.
The state, the media machine, and civil society institutions must always be vigilant to this matter, and work to refute it and communicate the truth to the people in all possible ways. But this also does not eliminate the societal burden on people, who must strive to spread awareness among them of the need to verify and verify before circulating any seemingly sensational information about people's lives, especially those who are known for their goodness.
The loss of confidence in people's ability to do good and spread it and that all its good is nothing but a mask worn by some people to hide their true faces that are not free from evil;
For example, there is a fact that every human being has a right to the wealth he has accumulated, and although it may seem true, those who persist in saving, do not help anyone in their lives, and do not care about the problems of anyone you find are able to prevent the good of others as well, by blaming all kinds of charitable activities, accusing them of lying, fraud, and stealing people's money.
In this case, these people not only become stingy, but also pass on the idea of stinginess to others. Drying up goodness, blinding consciences and staining hearts is not a new method in politics and in building a strong and cohesive society.
The existence of this absurd old pattern in the political arena has a severe social cost, as it damages people's trust in each other in a way that can only be repaired decades and decades later.
The level of trust is the value that makes the strength of a community possible, and even fulfills the characteristic of being a community in itself. In modern society trust is seen as the richest "reserve of social capital." A society made up of people who do not trust each other and do not respect each other is the greatest disaster that can happen to any country. Trust in the political or commercial sphere is seen as the first tool that may be brutally used to eliminate competitors, and unfortunately we do not have any serious cultural or even religious programs that would establish this trust and protect what exists.
The biggest disaster that can happen to any human being is not that others don't trust him, that's bad enough, no doubt, but even worse that he himself doesn't trust others and can't. These people can never lead a normal life. Even the greatest punishment for liars and thieves is not the loss of trust of others, but their inability to trust others because they believe everyone is like them. Lack of trust is indeed a great punishment.
Receiving trust and living in an environment of people who can be trusted is one of the most basic human rights, which guarantees him a degree of love and psychological affection that enables him to continue and live. The foundation of this trust stems primarily from oneself, and starts from trusting people in their business areas. It is a reciprocal process between all; the more a person trusts others, the more it is due to him in the form of a balance of trust in the souls of others.
We are not saying that naivety or naïve belief in the purity of people is the only way to ensure trust, but that the individual is vigilant, able to trust people and distinguish right from wrong, and able to discern the news given to him about people and their goodness. Any human gathering will have all the scourges, exploitation, bad and evil, but that doesn't mean that everyone we meet will have these qualities, and we should be able to mark the good in people.
It is important to be careful to avoid awakening potential strife by treating people as potential thieves; being as open as possible to transparency and accountability in our institutions has instilled a high level of confidence that no unaccountable step has been taken.
Charities have accomplished great things, but they also have a responsibility to ensure that people are not left to make excuses for themselves, to ensure trust that can easily become a goal in society, to ensure that it is not misused, and to keep it alive in people's souls.
Trust is a friendly feeling, and in fact the measures that ensure that this feeling spreads throughout society bind society together on the basis of friendship. Friendship occupies an important place as the most important goal of politics because it is the most important virtue of a healthy society.
Friendship that has been somewhat neglected in modern political philosophy is now knocking on our door again persistently to become one of the important subjects of political philosophy. The foundation of political friendship is trustworthiness, that is, the possibility of ascertaining the hands, tongues, and backs of others, but at the same time being able to trust.
This honesty and this trust make all confident friends with others. When friends hear news about each other, they don't believe it without questioning, and even when they hear it for the first time, their attitude is to avoid mistrust and respond with good faith.
