On Diogenes

Was thinking about Diogenes, recently, the ancient Greek philosopher who walked  around with a lantern looking for an “honest man.”

It has come to mind recently because I have been lied to badly  recently at great  physical, legal, and financial cost.

I quoted a famous contemporary  novelist who said in one of his novels something like “everyone lies.” I think it is true. And sometimes that leads to torture and death.

I believe everyone lies somewhat although most strive for honesty. One person told me on online social media she never lies, but she may have been lying. Haha.
