The Truth And The Lie... According to a 19th-century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: “It’s a marvelous day today!“ The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. The Lie tells the Truth: “The water is very nice, let’s take a bath together!“ The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They undress and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back. The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage. The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbors no wish at all to meet the naked Truth. ~spirituallyminded Painting: The Truth coming out of the well | Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1896.  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.” |

A morality tale that makes you think, especially in our current political climate.

A lie may hide behind a beautiful appearance. But it's actions will always expose the truth. Most adults have stepped in that hole a time or two.

an elegant way of saying most of society has lost their way.

|
People tend to choose comfortable lies over the hard truth. That's the basis of politics and religion.

Ain't that the truth ---' way to many liers and scammers in the world
