“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” ~ Albert Einstein
The question is ~ If a person repeatedly tells the same story using the same false facts over and over again, and people continue to believe the story over and over again, wouldn't they all be considered insane?
So, why do people continue to allow themselves to believe tall tales? One theory is that the person telling the story confabulates. He or she fills in the gaps of what he or she thinks she remembers and fabricates what they actually believe to be facts. They are most convincing because in their mind they convince themselves that it is real. The same story that is either embellished or toned down can seem to be a different version and very well could be delivered and believed by very trusting individuals.
Another reason for individuals to allow themselves to believe is because they are feeling somewhat hopeless. They believe because they are afraid and they want the storyteller's story to be true. Whatever the guy is selling, they're going to buy it.

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You've been out ridin' fences,
for so long - now.
Ohh you're a hard one.
I know that you've got your reasons.
These things that are pleasin'you
Can hurt you somehow.
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able.
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table.
But you only want the ones
That you can't get.
Desperado,
Ohhhh you aint getting no younger.
Your pain and your hunger,
They're driving you home.
And freedom, ohh freedom.
Well that's just some people talking.
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine.
It's hard to tell the night time from the day.
And you're losing all your highs and lows
aint it funny how the feeling goes
away...
Desperado,
Why don't you come to your senses?
come down from your fences, open the gate.
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you.
You better let somebody love you.
(let sombody love you)
You better let somebody love you...ohhh..hooo
before it's too..oooo.. late.
