[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3062816, member: 4134"] It's a bit playing with words, but the logic's there: There's someone who [S]lied[/S] told an untruth, and might have had his reasons for it, and there's the guy who likes lying for lying's sake. Chances are you can trust the first guy with his white lie - especially if he promises not to do it again, and explains why he did it. The other guy: How could you trust him? He lies to poeple just for kicks. He probably likes to hurt others. Sorry to stray from the Path of Topic, but are you *the* "Rikka"? I can't quite remember who said it or where it was said, but the "reasoning" went like this: Normal virtues, like charity, are a lie, as people just aren't nice and virtuous. Therefore, being egoistic and caring only for yourself is a virtue and should be striven for. I think it was one of those obnoxious elf haters who tried to justify their hatred of elves - they weren't "virtuous" (like they define it, i.e. selfish bastards), but embody the "false virtues" and are an idialized version of man that is untrue. To me, it sounded like someone sitting in a psychology class getting bored and decided to bash others with pseudo-style. [/QUOTE]
