00:00Sir, when it comes to people, let's say when you're meeting them, so they behave in such a way like
00:05they're very reliable, you can share with them.
00:07But sir, then after some days, they're like 180 degree turn.
00:11You didn't see that because you didn't want to see that. I'll give you an example.
00:15Let's say you are on diet and still you crave for ice cream.
00:19So you go to the ice cream seller and you ask him,
00:22How many calories in this cup or scoop? And he says 1.5 calories.
00:26And you will eagerly want to believe him because you are already craving for ice cream.
00:31You are educated, you are sensible, you know very well that that quantity of ice cream cannot be anything less
00:37than 100 or 200 calories.
00:39You very well know the fellow is lying to you, but he will say 1.5 so that you buy
00:43it and you will believe that it is 1.5 because you want it.
00:49So it's a mutual deception.
00:50Why do you say that he has hurt you?
00:53You are so ready to believe his lies.
00:55In fact, you would have gotten angry had he said this is 300 kilocalories.
01:00You fat one, don't even touch this.
01:02You won't like him.
01:03Would you?
01:03Tell me, honestly.
01:04Nope.
01:05Nope.
01:05In that moment of overpowering desire, would you like him?
01:09If he tells you the truth, no.
01:11So we love liars.
01:13Sweet lies.
01:14Sweet lies.
01:15What does the cover page say?
01:19What more about lies?
01:21For those tired of sweet lies.
01:24We love to believe sweet lies.
01:26We have a stake in believing sweet lies.
