Honesty is hula-hooping while
being barefooted on a cold lawn;
Stretching truth is easier than shaking your hips to match the spinning top tempo of the world.
Lying is like blushing at a laundromat.
It starts as a knee-jerk reaction to stress, then becomes a long-legged agent that discolours many cycles of fabrication.
Directness is knowing how to dodge
red herrings and when to ram the point.
