“Never lie to someone who trusts you; and never trust someone who has ever lied to you.”
If Bolton would lie even once, why would anyone trust him to not lie again?
The purpose of a lie is to control. They are useful tools for many and will not go away.
The trouble is fewer and fewer people think like you. Which begs the question, why do you think like that? Maybe we should replicate it.
“Which begs the question, why do you think like that?”
I think like that because it is efficient and I don’t need to remember the details of some tall tale.
My boss knows that I will tell him the truth, even if it’s bad news.
You can’t make good decisions from lies, you need to know actual true facts.
