Ode said "..but you were "sold"."

"Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also 
believes to be true."   --  Demosthenes 

People prefer deception to truth. Lies, especially lattering lies, make them 
feel good about themselves. They are convenient and soothing, like
diet cola - sweet and empty. The truth, by contrast, is too strong. It disturbs 
our digestion and troubles our sleep.  Give me straight-up mendacity any day.
