Hey all,
Padraic, you make a very good point, and I agree. One of the most fundamental problems is lying, or untruth. I read through the wiki, it is funny how rarely you wiki something so simple as 'lie'. I come from a place that taught me to do my absolute best not to ever tell lies. I can't think of the last time I lied. Honestly (hehe). I know it seems crazy, and I can already hear people saying, 'oh but we have to take your word on it'. Some of the things I do are paradoxical... As such, it made me gasp when you said you thought the average was about 2 or 3 times every ten minutes. One lie every 4 minutes or so? <shudder> Does it count if your world view is a continuous lie? Something profound there, in the truth/untruth dichotomy.
Our nature is not as dark as some think, I would assert. Our nature is only potential. The darkness (and light) is an influence.
Thank you for listening,
-Pip
