so you don't have to remember anything. I think this proverb is incredibly powerful; partly because it is not such a hackneyed expression, but mostly because the expression is there for your protection rather than to dictate how you should live your life.
It came to my mind today while we were discussing Huckleberry Finn, the oh so repetitive satire by Mark Twain. Huck lies continuously, and always forgets what he has lied about. He eventually realizes the difficulty in lying, and reaches an epiphany where he resolves only to tell white lies.
But enough of the lit analysis. What I mean to convey is that adhering to this piece of advice will radically change your life. We all lie, its human nature. Telling the truth 24/7 is incredibly difficult. But imagine if all of us tried. The world would become a much safer place for our emotions.

That's it for now folks.
False. Can you imagine a world in which there were no lies? What would be the point of living? Not only would we have millions of people flocking jail cells, we would also all be in debt. For example, if companies were to tell costumers that their products were not as good as their competitors, what would be the result of that? Lies are important to sustain life. So then I guess we could come to the conclusion that we live off of lives. Sure. But lies are the symptom, not the cause. They are the symptom of the desire and greed to be the best. Not a bad thing, but something very few people in this world can avoid.
