I'm sometimes so surprised by the fluidity and volume of the lies that I tell without effort that there's no hesitation of conscience. It isn't apalling in those moments, it's fiction.
Falseness has earned a bad reputation over the millennia of civiic history. Mendacity has destroyed so much, we hear, to lie is equivocally to cheat. It is sinister to say things that are not true. Honesty is the best policy. I shall not tell a lie. The truth.
Naysayers, all of you, warm your deceitful tongues at my hearth. Let our fiction send teeming sparks out into the felt coats of our honest neighbors.
