Lying is an uniquely human trait
That saves(d) people from suffering
From the time immemorial
The lies about a better future
The lies about an after life
The lies about a forgiving almighty
The lies about the life’s purpose
And countless more
From families to societies
From corporations to nation states
All are held in its place only by lies
Without lies all these structures
Would disintegrate in no time, so
Next time when someone lies to you
And you find out about it
Don’t berate them, instead
Admire them, even thank them
For they help keep your absurd life going.
