Lies

Tis a new year and time moves on.
People have a funny concept of time. In the universe there is no time. On planet earth we have time because we need to know where we are in relation to other things and people. In the universe there are no secrets, so time is not important. It's all out in the open for all to see.
The first lies and cover-up began with the first people, when the serpent lied to Eve, and then when Adam lied to god (which was really his conscience). And people have been wearing clothes and lieing ever since. No surprise, but that's why the concept of time is important , it can be used as an aid to lie and/or control people.
People think they are smart when they lie. It's part of the process. The liars that I know (some of them compulsive liars) also think they are smart and that their lies are believed. They are funny to watch.
Vernon Howard, wrote and excellent book, If memory serves, it's called "Lies and how to see through them." I apologize if this is not true , that is a lie, but he did write the book and it is very good.
