Easy Lies, Heavy Lives

Easy lies travel fast. Quiet truth doesn’t. This piece looks at why people follow noise and ignore the peace right in front of them.

It’s unbelievably easy to create fake news now. One quick tap and a lie travels faster than truth ever could. Many content creators aren’t chasing honesty anymore—they’re chasing monetization. The faker the post, the faster the reactions, shares, and comments. And that means income. The only real thing in all of it is their love for easy money.

And people today are treated as naturally gullible. Scroll, believe, share—repeat. No pause, no checking, no thinking.

But when the post is spiritual? When it’s something genuinely good? People see it as “nothing new.” Share a Bible passage and they say, “I already know that. Any twist? Anything different?” And if there’s none, they scroll away without a second look.

Yet bring out a page filled with dark, unsettling art—edgy, loud, almost satanic—and they follow instantly. It feels different. It feels louder than the world they’re trying to escape. But they don’t realize—it only adds more noise to their life.

Here’s the strange part: when we pray in the dark, or simply close our eyes, there’s peace. But when we do bad things, our life becomes dark—and we forget it’s the same darkness. The same blackness that frightens us is also the blackness of calm when our eyes are closed.

Same color. Different meaning.

So when those heavy moments come—pray.

Sometimes the darkness isn’t a threat—it’s a quiet doorway back to clarity, if we let it be.

And maybe that’s the real point: if content creators stopped feeding people with manufactured lies—and if people learned to pause, pray, and think before reacting—fake news wouldn’t spread this fast in the first place.

If noise begins with one bright lie, peace can also begin with a Nonpareil Drop of RGB.
