कुल मिलाकर, झूठ बोलना एक मज़ेदार बात है। बातें बढ़ा-चढ़ाकर कहना दूसरों को खुशी देने के लिए होता है। लोग वही सुनना चाहते हैं जो आप सुनना चाहते हैं। वे आपको हंसाना चाहते हैं; वे खुद मनोरंजन करना चाहते हैं; वे चाहते हैं कि आप अच्छा वक्त बिताएं। यह मेहमाननवाज़ी से भी बढ़कर है। यह एक कला है।

On the whole, lying is a cheerful affair. Embellishments are intended to give pleasure. People long to tell you what they imagine you want to hear. They want to amuse you; they want to amuse themselves; they want to show you a good time. This is beyond hospitality. This is art.

दक्षिण अमेरिका में ऐसा लगता है कि कोमल शब्दों का इस्तेमाल क्रूर और हिंसक ताकतों ने अपना हथियार बना लिया है। उरुग्वे में सैन्य तानाशाही के दौरान सबसे बड़ी जेल का नाम 'आज़ादी' था, जबकि चिली में एक नज़रबंद शिविर का नाम 'गरिमा' रखा गया था। मेक्सिको के चियापास में 'शांति और न्याय' नाम के जिस अर्धसैनिक संगठन ने 1997 में चर्च में प्रार्थना कर रहे 45 किसानों (जिनमें से ज़्यादातर महिलाएं और बच्चे थे) की पीठ पर गोलियां बरसाई थीं, वह खुद को यही कहता था। आखिर पिछले कुछ दशकों में दक्षिण के लोगों ने ऐसा क्या किया है कि वे इतनी आज़ादी, गरिमा, शांति और न्याय के हकदार बन गए?

In South America euphemism appears to be the grisly preserve of violent power. 'Liberty' was the name of the biggest prison in Uruguay under the military dictatorship, while in Chile one of the concentration camps was called 'Dignity.' It was the self-styled 'Peace and Justice' paramilitary group in Chiapas [Mexico] that in 1997 shot 45 peasants in the back, nearly all of them women and children, as they prayed in a church. What have the souls of the south done over the past few decades to deserve quite so much liberty and dignity and peace and justice?
