Conspiracy Theories – Are They Really?

 
Conspiracy theories, are they just that, theories of conspiracy?
Were they made up? Are they fabrications of the truth?

Some would have us believe that conspiracy theories are a distraction; others would say they are not theories at all, they are an explanation for what is really going on. Some even say the powers that be, contrived conspiracy theories and theorists to explain away what we should not focus on; they use it to derise, to discredit, opinions contrary to theirs.

Conspiracy theories are seen as laughable explanations, to be discarded without a second thought. Is that what they have tried, is that what they have managed, is that now where we are; trapped between two thoughts – Truth and Conspiracy Theory?

Whose truth are we talking about? What truth do we have in a world full of lies? What should we believe? What can we believe? What path should we be upon; lambs to the slaughter or lions standing their ground?

Do conspiracy theories have any basis in fact? Why are they so quick to ridicule them?

How many people have even considered that conspiracy theories could, in fact, hide elaborate truths within them; buried deep within the stories, buried deep within the conversation may lay hidden truths.

Is it not for the people who come across them to decide for themselves, what merits any of this really has?

Some ideas are farfetched, some would say ridiculous, others would say so was travelling to the moon, or vaccines are bad for you.
Did they really travel to the moon? Or did we witness an elaborate hoax? Are vaccines really good for us or do they carry harmful pathogens? Does an umbrella always protect you from the rain on a windy day?

Are conspiracy theories really to be so easily dismissed?

Some yes, others, well, you decide.
