Hello,

This week's edition will discuss deception, essays, and Jordan & Julian Peterson's new writing App.

The Danger of Lying.

One of the things I tried to think through is why you should tell the truth.

Lying is very powerful because you can manipulate the world with your language. And you can get what you want lots of times; or escape from things you don't want.

So why not lie all the time.

Well, (there are a bunch of reasons), but one of them is that you can't trust yourself if you lie. And there are going to be times in your life when you have no one to turn to accept you.

So, if you've stuffed yourself full of lies, you're going to be in a crisis one day, and you're going to have to make a decision, and you're going to decide wrong, and you're going to be in real trouble. You won't have the clarity of mind necessary to make the proper judgement because you have filled your imagination and perception with rubbish. Be aware of this.

“Face the demands of life voluntarily. Respond to a challenge, instead of bracing for a catastrophe.” (Share this on Twitter)

“It’s important for lost, young people (male and female alike) to develop a vision and take on some responsibility and understand that they have a vital role to play in the world…that the lack of their best hurts everything.” (Share this on Twitter)
