[ When you sit down at your elegant table, you see a shiny, circular board in front of you. At the center of the circle are sealed glass boxes: inside, there are shiny jewels in each of your team colors. In the center, a shiny crown and black licorice ring rest on a velvet pillow. ]

[ The board itself looks like this: ]

Well, let's say someone tells you they have three apples. But in reality they have four apples. You have no way of knowing this, however. You tell someone else they have three apples. Are you a liar, when you couldn't know the truth?

No, but the person who didn't tell you the truth about the apples is!

Yes, but that's what I mean! YOU can be honest, but because you could only see the world through your own perceptions, you can only give biased information.

But most of the time I think people will tell you the truth about how many apples they have.

Sapphire, that was a simplified metaphor. The fact is, people lie. People don't always see all the facts. That means they can't always know the truth.

Isn't that kind of pessimistic?

No, it's an observation.

How many people do you think would honestly guess the kind of world I was from? People don't pick up shit even though they have a whole loaf full of breadcrumbs.
