If I tell the truth, they rush to beat me, … If I lie, they trust me.” Remember Dante, Voltaire, Cervantes, Swift and other historical ‘greats’ who, at some point in time, wrote truth in jail, in exile, in the loony bin, at the foot of the gallows? They also expected to gain approval for telling the truth! And lost their head instead!
