Lies, High and Low
-This president lies more than his share!
I can’t figure why.
-The reason many men and women do.
To look better.
-We lie to boost our stock?
-Turgenev put it in a more literary manner:
Better the falsehood that exalts
than hosts of baser truths.
-Sometimes you feel like shit doing it.
But other times just terrific!
-That’s the art part.
-How come you can quote all these writers
and shit?
-Educated beyond my ability.
-Noticed that.
Labels: lies and public policy, looking good, lying, President, Saving Face, Trump, Turgenev
