Faking reality

I wonder if any scam artists read my blog. Well, if you happen to be one but refuse to admit it even to yourself, go get help. And think about this:


"People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I’ve learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one’s master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person’s view requires to be faked…The man who lies to the world, is the world’s slave from then on."
