In every scenario of life there are facts and truth. Unfortunately, too often we see only certain facts, rarely the truth, and are left to decipher the rest.

Words like "Fake News", "Misinformation", or "My Truth" have now become common place.

Only a tap away there is information supporting either side of any discussion. Information/data is used on both sides of the argument, dependent only on the bias of the author.

While, in many cases, this may not be a bad thing, it is something to be aware of and approach with caution.

If the topic is one you wish to have an opinion on, consider the sources and the raw information. Do your own homework and objectively formulate your thoughts.

Don't take things at face value or pass off other's thoughts as your own. Don't get entrenched in a discussion where the depth of your knowledge is a headline.

Think for yourself and teach your children to do the same.

There are multiple sources pointing to multiple origins of this saying, so we will call it unknown for now, but in no way does that diminish its prevalence.

"If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck." Don't let someone convince you it's an elephant.
