Sometimes, the truth is more of a hindrance than that which is false; an outright lie. In some cases in all our lives, the truth is not only avoided, but it is denied altogether. The true power in all our lives, it can be said, is the lie. Without lies, politicians would not know what to do with themselves. Without lies, salesmen would lose their jobs. Without lies, there would be no advertising which would kill many more jobs. Without lies, the news media would cause its shareholders to lose money. It is the lie that keeps everything together. Most importantly, we all have to lie to ourselves in order to fit in to a society that is cheap, greedy, and addicted to misleading information designed to keep everybody in the dark about issues that matter. The bread and circus dog and pony show that is the entertainment industry has the power to influence the minds and perceptions of millions of people. The glowing screens are hypnotic in their nature. If you want to see what hypnosis looks like, place a young child in front of a television and look at their eyes. What you will see is the casting of spells, the indoctrination of the child to accept the material ways of psycho/social measurement and understanding. It is, in essence, the acceptance of lies and the maintenance of their influence.
