Our (lying) way of life.

As individuals. Many of us have reached the point. Of believing whatever we want to believe. And the truth be damned. Indeed, it’s a sad state of affairs. We accept bold-faced lying. Without cringing. As long as the lies suit our fancy. We allow politicians and businessmen and even clergymen – leaders in all walks of life --to feed us endless chains of lies. From which we can choose. Whatever lies we prefer. It’s uncanny. I used to shake my head. In disbelief. But I’ve come to accept lying. As the norm. Generally, I try to be truthful. But it really doesn’t matter. Lying has become acceptable and fashionable. Our way of life. --Jim Broede
