We lie. -rjs

We lie. Sorry, no offense intended. But we do. How are you? Just fine. Liar!
Prolly not a good opening paragraph but sniveling half- truths ain’t getting nowhere! We want want want some thing and we’re not getting it! So we fabricate and tweak our story to fit our perceptions of what we believe to be incumbent upon us.
Now we feel better knowing how dearly we deserve that thing we want!
We say i believe i believe when we haven’t a clue. And oh so patiently wait for that thing to drop into our proverbial lap.
