Is this that new type butterfly; if not, why not, since words mean whatever I say they mean, right?_4638
Do politicians and court witnesses get to make up different definitions for common words so later no one can correctly call either a "less than truth teller", since you just did not understand what I meant when I said the opposite of what you heard me say. What does such double talk from "non-liars teach you. Can you really trust person's words on the fate of another's damage recovery, time in prison, or leading a government? How do you decide if another person can be trusted, is credible, and can be relied upon in important things like believing their words, plans for the future, or merely voting as a judge or juror on damages (lots of or no money for injured), guilt or not guilty (prison or freedom for one not proven guilty). Can or can you not rely on that person to look you and me in the eye and tell all the truth about any thing other than their name? With some, can you even be sure that is their real name either. What is a voter, judge, juror, or THE DECIDER to do in such a scenario?
Luckily not every one lies all of the time.
Problem: Figuring out the truth from a lie, when listening to others tell their story of how a past event occurred or on how the future will be better if you put that speaker into office.
Remedy: Hope I am making enough sense that you will think twice before accepting all others tell to you or write for you. There are crooks and liars out there. BE AWARE!

_Only I discern
Infinite passion, and the pain
Of finite hearts that yearn.
- Robert Browning, Two in the Campagna
(st. 12)
In solitude the passions feed upon the heart.
- Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion.
- Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
What a mistake to suppose that the passions are strongest in youth! The passions are not stronger, but the control over them is weaker! They are more easily excited, they are more violent and apparent; but they have less energy, less durability, less intense and concentrated power than in maturer life.
- Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Flowers whose wild odors breathe but agonies.
- Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
In the human breast two master-passions cannot coexist.
- Thomas Campbell
All passions exaggerate; and they are passions only because they do exaggerate.
- Sebastien-Roch-Nicolas de Chamfort
For one heat, all know, doth drive out another,
One passion doth expel another still.
- George Chapman, Monsieur D'Olive
(act V, sc. 1, l. 8)
Were it not for the salutary agitation of the passions, the waters of life would become dull, stagnant, and as unfit for all vital purposes as those of the Dead Sea.
- Paul Chatfield (a/k/a Horace Smith)
