The word 'convince' is very interestingly been conceived - the first part is 'con'' and second part is 'vince'. So it has the inherent risk built in the word structure - One could well Vince with pain and feel conned when your conviction bubble is burst!
It’s an extremely interesting topic and has a lot of relevance to the current era. Convincing has gained a new connotation thanks to social media. The old adage “Seeing is believing” is no longer existent and people are trying to convince each other by posting tons of videos and photographs on sharing platforms.
Now there are influencers who get paid millions of dollars just to convince their followers who blindly accept anything posted…remember the pied piper!
Be it religion, politics, sports or even movies convincing others is the name of the game so much so that we now have fact checks to prove the genuineness of the convincer. Probably the reason why CON is a part of the word convince!!
