I am especially worried by the lies that we all create in our own minds by repeating erroneous thoughts with our own thinking. People being convinced about things that are not true or only partially true can be quite scary, more so when those people are in power. Fair chance that Goebbels really believed what he was saying. What we consider to be the 'truth' is very relative in my perception.

It kind of goes both ways, too. If you have a belief, and it is correct, but you don't reinforce it, it may get quickly replaced by some other belief.
