Deception is part of life.
I see deception as overestimate or underestimate the reality of things. The ability to succeed is jeopardized when you can't assess reality. Overestimate reality don't give you the confident needed to accomplish tasks. Underestimate reality and you won't be prepared enough. The exact understanding of a situation is most efficient.
When people view is off, they deceived themselves and pass the same view to others. It's like a virus. If you see deception as a virus, a disease, then the cure for deception is wisdom, immunity.
In fighting off sickness, people need strong immune system. This can be done by living healthy or medication. In the same way, wisdom can be boosted with life experience or education. People who have higher education tend to have more immunity to deception if knowledge gives them wisdom. The possibility of artificial virus is also there.
Another technique to fight deception is giving dead doses of deception. Like vaccination, dead doses of deception can comes in forms of contrary jokes. It spurs different thinking and makes us wiser.
No one is the blame for deception. It originates from living and cure from living.
Save others, one day they will be saving you.
