    Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

    “There are three types of lies -- lies, damn lies, and statistics.”

    ― Benjamin Disraeli


    “People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I’ve learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one’s master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person’s view requires to be faked…The man who lies to the world, is the world’s slave from then on…There are no white lies, there is only the blackest of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all.”

    ― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged


    “Actually," said Jace, "I prefer to think that I'm a liar in a way that's uniquely my own.”

    ― Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes


    “I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.”

    ― S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders

    I never knew who had taken a beating.
    All my acquaintances have been champions at all.
    Who is there in this wide world that confess that once was vile?
    I'm sick of demigods!
    Where is there people in the world?
    So just me that is vile and wrong on this earth?
    I wish I hear from some human voice
    Who confess not a sin, but an infamy;
    Friends are like diamonds and diamonds are forever

    Extrapolating the philosophical universe for the day to day, you do not feel nostalgia for one innocence? Or can, despite all the knowledge, be amazed with the things?

    I do not know if surprise me with things, but I am never tired of that, though, it is the beauty of life and the world. Somehow, I'm always a little amazed.



    I insist on the innocence-sophy dichotomy. In a particular instance, the sophy word, which commonly translates into wisdom, assumed the semantic content of sense. As the status of wisdom were equivalent to the wisdom. I do not know if it assumes a thinking divorced from the wonderful thing to: "eat chocolates with truth and take the silver paper, which is tin foil, lay everything to the ground, as I lay life.".



    Difficult is to translate philosophy
