How to use deceive in a sentence?
Sir Walter Scott, Marmion, Canto vi. Stanza 17.:
Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive!
Nature never deceives us; it is we who deceive ourselves.
Today's society has decided it's better to assume, deceive or lie to ourselves to spare our own feelings. When accepted the truth will set us free. Anything aside from that will torment us. Feelings are made from thoughts; thoughts can be controled. We fall in love because we THINK about how wonderful someone is; we hate because we can't stop THINKING about what they did to us. In the end, WE control our own thoughts and feelings.
The message is that those who spread misinformation about the conflict or the plan are not going to get away with it anymore, if you lie or deceive to try to shape public opinion, were not going to let you do that without a response. We are in the midst of educating, and in some cases, re-educating people.
You have seen that from 2014 to 2019, the people who used to talk about secularism have now gone quiet. In this election, not one political party has been able to deceive the people of India by wearing the label of secularism.
