 A Net of Words

A professor in his philosophy class asked his students ‘which net is hard to get out of?’ Nobody could answer his question. Getting no answer the professor looked through the window of the class room and saw a leader giving a speech, the audience was clapping profusely.

After observing this scene for a while, the professor gave an answer to his question ‘it is a net of words’. The professor extended his answer ‘If somebody is trapped in a net of words he or she hardly can get out of it. And more interestingly, the person who is trapped never knows that he or she has been trapped. The net of words are strongest than a net made of iron.
