THERE IS A CONVENTIONAL WISDOM ABOUT PEOPLE BECOMING MORE CHILDLIKE AS THEY AGE.
HERE'S MY TAKE ON ONE ASPECT OF AGING. OLD FOLKS BECOME GREAT AT LYING.
I AM NOT TALKING LITTLE WHITE LIES. I AM TALKING ABOUT A COMPLETE DENIAL OF WHAT MANY OTHER FOLKS KNOW TO BE TRUE. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF JUST FACTUAL ACCURACY, BUT INCLUDES THE ENTIRE RANGE OF MORAL BEHAVIOR. DENIAL IS NOT A RIVER IN EGYPT !!!!
AND THEY HAVE A SKILLFUL MANNER OF MAKING THOSE WHO QUESTION THEIR TRUTHFULNESS TO BE THE BAD GUYS.
I BELIEVE SOME FOLKS HAVE CONVINCED THEMSELVES THEY ARE RIGHT AND EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG. SOME MIGHT BEAT A LIE DETECTOR TEST.
