Facades opus 688

7 November 2025 1710 Hours Psychology, Behavior
We are now sadly surrounded with facades of untruth.
Even now, to the point, we must warn our children
To beware of that which appears 'to be too good to be true'.
'Don't take a ride offered by a stranger.'
'Don't be seduced by that handsome, tall, dark man.
Humans almost always seem to wish advantage
Over many of their fellows no matter who.
We are continually, however, under suspicion, in perpetuity
And the truly honest ones will never be trusted.
