If we going to tell lies then it is more self effacing
to tell them to help save other people's faces
more than our own and to tell as few lies
as we need to, to make life bearable for all.
But we all know how these things pan out
the smaller the lie, the less likely it is
that anyone believes it; even with lies
we just can't accept the idea of modesty.
What 'empowers' us is other people's shame.
