From the mind of critic: “If we claim that honesty is the best policy in our personal lives, how come we keep electing politicians who don’t even know what that policy means? Is it because politicians claim honesty while not really following it because it’s just something to say, kinda like we do? Or do we elect polticians who lie because we’ve told ourselves everybody lies, so we might as well elect the person who lies the least? Most of us portray ourselves as good and honest people, because that’s what we want the world to see, regardless of how we actually are. So it makes sense that once we make it to elected office, we want it to continue. Maybe we’re scared of telling the truth because we think people couldn’t handle it. Maybe we stretch, bend and twist the truth because we think we can get something out of people, we might not otherwise have gotten. Maybe we’re waiting for the truth to make sense to us, before we tell others. If we want politicians to stop lying to us, we have to stop lying to ourselves” 🙂
