71. I imagine many, many people will...

I imagine many, many people will contort the intent and the content of honesty to better suit their own dishonesty. I'm certainly not surprised by it. Surprised by the mental gymnastics sure, but not by the ultimate agenda of dishonesty-- as dishonesty is much more pervasive than actual honesty; and, as indirectly implied up thread, honesty may not even be the genetic norm for humans (not that I agree with the editorialized hypothesis). If people so wish to justify their lives that way, so be it.

Cheating is the norm.

Honesty is archaic.

Monogamy is abnormal.
