LOSING THE LIE

He is an interesting man, who lies well... --P.D. Ouspensky

 

"There is worse to come," he said. "What this really means

is that you have stopped living. At any rate,
you no longer lie so interestingly as before.

Friends say you are becoming colorless. That you are fading.
There are some things you do not know or understand.

And you admit it. You are ashamed of lying.

Your friends grow sorry for you. In their own way,
they are right.

You are losing a certain amount of silliness along the way.

You no longer deceive yourself. You have begun to die."
