I was reading Stephen King's On Writing the other day and one of the quotes he uses in the beginning of the book is "liar's prosper" attributed to anonymous. I have really struggled with that concept for the past month or so. I do not exactly live a puritanical life but I do try to be honest with the "emphasis" on try to be honest. I am not going to steal from anyone, I am not out to hurt anyone, and I do have to wonder why anyone would want to do that to me.
A person can justify any of their actions to help themselves sleep at night or maybe they have such a complete lack of a conscience, they can do whatever they want to, and it does not bother them at all. I do not think I swill ever understand the lack of consideration people have or their total immorality. It is a debate I could have for the rest of my life and still not understand.
