>character gets in trouble

>he could easily get away with it if he lies

>he tells the truth



Why is this so prevelent across storytelling?

guilt.

and/or they'd have gotten caught anyways.

>>21975759 (OP)

most people tell the truth by instinct, automatically. we feel an inner compulsion to tell the truth. you are probably a psychopath.

it's a virtue to be honest, so it will get presented in stories.

Plot

>>21975759 (OP)

a 4chan incel wouldn't understand

>>21975759 (OP)

The truth will out.

>>21975759 (OP)

Honesty is manly. Men want to be manly. Men who do not want to be manly will be despised by other men, even if other men will not admit that. You are probably reading a book whose author expected to be mostly read by men.

This picture is so mysteriously nostalgic for me and there's hope and light in it inexplicably. Who is the woman in there? What has she done?

>>21975759 (OP)

 power manliness honor ...

Our current dystopian society rewards psyhopathic liars but in primitive societies lie is a horrible thing that can get you killed or excommunicated. You also could notice the notion of a mans word meaning something lets say 100 years ago. Now it means nothing when have you seen some zoomer thats a man of his word. 

We all want that honest honor based society back. Thats why men have honor at least in books.



Also society would be great without lies. I saw invention of lying movie and all I wanted to do was to murder the fat liar and continue the brutally honest utopia.

Lying is contrary to nature.

German detected

>>21975759 (OP)

the story actually needs to happen

>>21975759 (OP)

Programming the masses? Idk

only whites do this

4chan incel says/writes more Truth in a month than some coorporate person does in 10 years. Most incels even handle criticism better. Maybe everyone should be incel for 5 6 years for more honest society.

What is exoteric vs esoteric knowledge/teaching?

Blessed trips

>>21975759 (OP)

Lying is a sin.

Would you rather sin or die?

>>21975759 (OP)

It’s called integrity you stupid meat toilet

>>21975759 (OP)

Call it what you want, a death wish, appel du vide, todestrieb, it's the unconscious or even unwilling rush toward annihilation that keeps fucking up men's lives again and again.

Just go to confession bro. Power of the keys.

What?

Great scene from a great movie explaining this.

Ralph Fiennes character is the guy who co-wrote the revised version of 'How to Read a Book' btw.

Why is integrity in stories but not in reality?

>>21975759 (OP)

It's called having integrity

The wages of sin is death anyway according to St. Paul, but I suppose the severity of lying depends on circumstance

The general cowardice, mistrust, and unwillingness to forgive and forget that infects all people. The more trouble you're in, the more likely your heart will be hardened and unwilling to obey your conscience.

One entails the other if you are Christian or some other theist, as many literary characters are.

Beautiful trips and dubs following one another. Is it going to be a great day, anons?

I actually have a recurring dream where I've committed a murder and am paranoid that I'm going to be found out. Always makes me feel bad and anxious that one.
