Very few people are sincere. They cannot differentiate the meaning of the two words practically.

Devyani, I am not sure how you can confidently say this, after all all are not fools to discern the difference in meaning of the two words.

Also, being serious does not always mean a person is sincere! There are those who dupe and cheat others with a lot of seriousness!

So I would really like know how you arrived at this little gem of wisdom!!!

'sincere' differs from 'serious'. 'sincere' means that you are true to the issue involved and and will make efforts to solve this. It does not matter whether you look jolly or gloomy.

It is not that those who are serious are not sincere.
But can go hand in hand.
