The truth is balance. However the opposite of truth, which is unbalance, may not be a lie.

Lying is the most simple form of self-defence. -Susan Sontag.

All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?

The truth is always something that is told, not something that is known. If there were no speaking or writing, there would be no truth about anything. There would only be what is.

Never lie when the truth is more profitable.

A harmful truth is better than a useful lie.
