Inversion of Generosity
There's an epidemic of lies running rampant through society these days. The most insidious is the prolific phenomenon of people lying to themselves. If you lack honesty with the person in the mirror, you lack any barricade to prevent you from lying to others.
Where I would normally supplement ample synonyms for the word lie, that's not happening here. There is a power and a frequency to that specific word, and anything else in an approximation — and we wonder why euphemisms are energetically draining. Stop stealing my life force!!
When lying becomes pathological, distinction between lies and truth disappear.
We've seen that happen on a grand scale. Lie after lie after lie has eroded people's trust in themselves because not only is lying insidious to the liar, it damages everyone around him or her. Add to this that the definition of truth has been reinvented, and it's no wonder we're all at sixes and sevens, as my grandma would say. The terms fact and truth are being used interchangeably. Meanwhile, opinions don't exist anymore. "My truth" has replaced them. Folks, there's no such thing. Take your pick from facts, truth, lies, or opinions.
