Truth, lies, and fiction

Truth is stranger than fiction, because with truth we are unaware of the invention.

Fiction is not a lie unless it pretends to be truth. Fiction often reveals truth via a virtual set of perceptions.

Beauty is truth. All our truths are aesthetics, arrangements of concepts to suit our taste.

Truth attempts to include and synthesize all perceptions; lies seek to circumscribe and limit them.

Lies are like walls. You must choose wisely the locations to fortify.

The strongest lies are built on the most solid truths.

Lies, like walls, eventually all fall. The question is when, and how much it matters by then.

In vino veritas, because the walls come a tumblin’ down.
