The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene (2003, Paperback, Reprint)

It is so much less complicated to tell the truth. It has been my life experience that sooner or later people find out the truth behind the lie you are trying to sell. Whether it is a car, clothing, drugs, toys or even yourself. That lie may get you over for while or so you think! The energy you use to cover up the truth and maintain the lie eventually wears you down. The assumption you make that people are not as clever as you to see behind your lie is a lie you tell yourself. Persons who are liars always start to believe their lies and live in illusions that never seem to match the reality of life. They never get ahead for long because the lie rots their souls and eventually everything around them. It destroys their relationships with others who find out and no longer trust them. Family, friends, business associates eventually disrespect you or no longer care to have a relationship with you. You end up alone except for the lie like a rotten corspe you forgot to bury. So just tell the truth! There are people who wont like it but they are the liars. So its best to get them out of your circle of relationships anyway before they stink up your life!
