Because of lies, we can produce and invent a possible world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Why waste time trying to discover the truth, when you can so easily create it?
Because we imagine, we can have invention and technology. It's actually play, not necessity, that is the mother of invention.
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.
Without lies humanity would perish of despair and boredom.
To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.
You don't like to be lied to, by your friends or in your business dealings. So why would you want to be lied to when it comes to the origin of life or the fate of the planet?
It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.
People lie, and they always are very very creative in finding new ways to lie.
Because we build the worlds we wouldn't mind living in. They contain scary things, problems, but also a sense of rightness that makes them alive and makes us want to live there.
Truth exists; only lies are invented.
