than from the sins of the world in which he lives.

all of them imaginary.

Groupthink
Any lie will receive almost instant corroboration, and almost instant collaboration,
if the maintenance of it results in the public enjoyment of
someone else's pain, someone else's humiliation.

Lots Of Fun
You are a man,
you understand.
You pick me up
and you lay me down again.
You make the rules,
you say what's fair,
It's lots of fun
to have you there.
