Facades. 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. 7 November 2025 1710 Hours.
