What a sword!
As children we were caught in lies. Like thieves in robbery, dogs in mating. Parents denounced their own sons and daughters if they lied. We all lied, mainly because we didn't dare the truth. Its consequenses. After all a lie gave you a fair chance of survival. Not all lies were revealed, in fact surprisingly few. Each unrevealed lie became a little metal chip in your mind. Not devastating, just a potential disturbance. You never knew. The liar never knows, is never perfectly safe. Sometimes we forgot why the lie seemed the only way out and how many days of judgment we saved ourselves.
