BRETT:
What brought this up? Fear of punishment? Need for approval? First, there
is no social preference for people who are honest, quite the contrary.
Second, if you eat bad food, your own body suffers...the same with actions
that are oppositional to the body/mind/spirit. The consequences are that
the body, mind and spirit break down...you die ("The wages of sin is death")!

BRETT:
"a" is a product of your own immaturity..."b" is the same as "a" but on a
larger scale..."c" is wrong--as there is no *random* occurance...therefore,
"d" is the obvious answer.
Get rid of your social delusions so that you can communicate with others who
are more aware than you.

Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters;
united with it, she is the mother of the arts and the origin
of marvels.
