A philosophy I adhere to in an attempt to simplify life. This is, of course, a vastly misguided attempt, which I invalidated (but manage to function socially beneath) by allowing myself the sin of omission; that is, if you can't say something true (for reasons of politesse), don't say anything at all - steer the conversation in a different direction.
It's much harder to lie than to tell the truth. You have to keep up with what you said and who you said it to, you have to strain your mind to come up with something plausible... Altogether too much like hard work for my liking.
Trust.
Don't lie. Ever.
