*If I cannot trust others in anything of import, than I truly must rely on myself for everything. I do not know if such a thing is even possible. I trust that the guards will not kill me when I go home, but I have only been told by others that they are here to protect us. What if that, too, is a lie. When we abandon the virtue of truth, we abandon everything. And yet so few find truth to be important. They lie casually about great things and small.
