What is your evidence?

I'm not telling.

yeah be abject to be true. Well it works in literature anyway, but does it work in LIFE? YES IT DOES and who cares if not, liars are either melodramatic or intimidating.

But ... after I wrote that I went to read Duane's 'web diary' and he had linked to a page I wrote and had forgotten about, where I said

Writing stuff for the website

Is the accumulation of detail a worthwhile project? Nothing is inherently worthwhile. One must aim for principle and integrity, and defense of the weak. Truth in itself isn't particularly useful. 6/ 10.

I think I was ranking things I did on how pointless they were.

Lying is the instrument of harmony

no courtesy is the instrument of harmony. lying is the instrument of the idle plaything.

Yes it is the best policy. Of course everyone expects total honesty as long as the truth is what they want to hear.

Lying is very interesting but takes more effort. Oh, and there's that damn guilt thing.
