Interesting work. A liar has to really work at keeping his/her lies straight or do they? If one tells a lie, they have to back it up with another and is there an end? Enjoyed reading your work. Sara

Thanks Sara yes indeed, the lie continuum, I think my point is you can only tell lies when in a conscious state, therefore using excuses about unconscious or subconscious lies, I don’t into that cheers David

Really is an art Panagiota, I like to think we can see through most liars, probably wishful thinking, I’m always asking questions, hope it’s not paranoia, cheers David

Thanks Anne-Lise, A wordplay on types on conscious and lie, weird thing we must be conscious and aware to lie, all the others I mentioned are autonomic reflexes, cheers David
