Most human beings today waste some 25 to 30 years of their lives before they break through the actual and conventional lies which surround them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Today, human civilization is drowning in a sea of lies.
Without lies humanity would perish of despair and boredom.
For us to maintain our way of living, we must tell lies to each other and especially to ourselves. The lies are necessary because, without them, many deplorable acts would become impossibilities.
Despite all the lunacy of the last century, all the absurdity of war and genocide, we believe that humans being are rational and are made to seek the truth.
All deception in the course of life is indeed nothing else but a lie reduced to practice, and falsehood passing from words into things.
There are some things that we know are just not as pleasant as the lies that we tell ourselves, and in that sense in order to endure existence everyone endures a certain amount of dishonesty in their everyday lives.
What we have to do, what at any rate it is our duty to do, is to revive the old art of Lying.
What then in the last resort are the truths of mankind? They are the irrefutable errors of mankind.
Long years must pass before the truths we have made for ourselves become our very flesh.
The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.
