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. Best Regards, Arnold Beland www.atlasnova.com
