“Every lie is welcome that suits its purpose.”-Thomas Paine
Nobody wishes to be called a liar, but many will believe in lies to reinforce a delusion.
To every lie, its purpose.
Wow, this is great. I just started a new blog in admiration of Paine, though I’m not quoting him. Anyway, I did a search and found this and was impressed. I appreciate your time spent on this.
Thanks for the comment and great job with your new blog! People should definitely check it out.
