People eventually lose that emotional response, especially if they do it so much that it becomes second nature or in a routine of lies. You have to figure out the clusters. Most mammals play by the golden rule because what you do might come back to you in the social order so lying and cheating are good for the individual but wrong for the group so the group will go against the individual. The problem is that your truth might not be the ultimate truth of the situation sometimes because there is a ball of lies all serving whatever purpose. Monkeys and humans have both learned to lie on an individual level against the group. If one lies, then another has to lie, especially in hierachies, and it becomes a tangled web of fantasy. Clusters and meanings. That was cunning, but it doesn't help the ultimate reality, to be true. Humanity is a mess.. You'll have the lone wolf who breaks out of its shell and tells the truth and everything blows to bits only to happen again. I've found that a lot of writers have ADD and are slightly pathological as well but without forethought, there is no future to our species. If it isn't, then it is a lie, but it could become the truth. It's looking ahead in the right way that matters.
