In an approach to examine this; I created a new character who has no value nor weight attached to it and posted it images of him speaking sentences that were said by people of had followers but their words to a non-follower is of no value.


I called my new character Fahim Fahmi Abu El Mafhumia; his name reflects a know-it-all kind of person along. Fahim is in his late early 60s, spends most of his time at a local coffee shop, always carrying a newspaper with him and likes to start debates with the other goers to the coffee shop.


Mr. Fahim Fahmi likes to seem that he knows whats going on in the world, how everything can be fixed and how it should be but he's a no-action person and just likes to talk a lot which -to me- applies to some extent the people whom I've quoted.

When you're in a neutral position towards a person, it's easy to tell whether or not his spoken words are of value. But the case is different if you're a follower of a figure that is of a high position in a country, then one might not think twice about the words coming out of that figure's mouth and you would be an automatic believer.

Would these spoken words carry the same value and weight when they're no longer attached to that person?
