#286 The Undeniable Power Of The Bold Faced Lie & The Joy It Gives Your Enemy

from The Opinion Machine??? · host merkley???

Wherein I explore the notion that people who lie to your face, knowing you know they are lying, are actually displaying the power to sadistically control your emotions.I describe how I did this a few times as a child, and still might occasionally harness this power to punk someone for a laugh.Evil laughter is miles apart from wholesome laughter.How do we know when we cross the line?How do we avoid being controlled by these liars?Not sure I find many answers here.Still, might be a good idea to recognize the problem.No refunds.
