LEARNING FROM THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF

"We shall advance when we have learned humility; when we have learned to seek truth, to reveal it, and publish it; when we care more for that than for the privilege of arguing about ideas in a fog of uncertainty." 
 ~Walter Lippman ~

The boy who cried wolf is an important and instructive story. When we lie habitually to people, they don't know what to believe, and they tend to doubt us as a matter of course, which is practical on their part, and self-protective.
     Our actions dictate the way that others respond to us, so if we don't like the response, we better change the way we behave.

I deal in truth.
