In America, it is okay to lie because the Fifth Amendment allows even the guilty to get away with murder. Even the Miranda “rights” offer the guilty party to say nothing. The Bible and other religious texts are known to punish those who tell the truth. So this world with all its beauty is designed for the deceivers and liars.
Everyone I know lies to some degree. To strangers, one can lie about their “real names” and ages. To friends, one can lie about how perfect a couple is. To family, one can lie how they wished them dead. To myself, one can lie about being happy. It is okay to lie to save face, your life and your love from the truth.
