According legend,
The Truth and the Lie meet
one day.
The Lie says to the Truth: "It's a marvelous
day today"!
The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for
the day was really beautiful.
They spend a lot of time together, ultimately
arriving beside a well.
The Lie tells the Truth: "The water is
very nice, let's take a bath together!"
The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the
water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They undress and start
bathing.
Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts
on the clothes of the Truth and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the
well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back.
The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its
gaze away, with contempt and rage.
The poor Truth returns to the well and
disappears forever, hiding therein, its shame.
Since then, the Lie travels around the world,
dressed as the Truth,satisfying the needs of society, because, the
World, in any case,harbors no wish at all to meet the naked Truth.
