Guy at work was obviously a piece of shit, he was some sort of management consultant. He went from walking in my office to tell me what the new deal was, to getting all outraged on my behalf that "they" would try to give me such a raw deal, said I was 100% right, it was bullshit, he was going to set it straight for me, don't worry.

Like dude... I heard what you said in the first half. I was here. It was literally like three minutes ago.

That's brazen.

What is the cost of lies? It’s not that we’ll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all. What can we do then? What else is left but to abandon even the hope of truth and content ourselves instead with stories?

When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there. But it is still there. Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid.
