THE TWO VILE FRIENDS

A man with a toothache went to the dentist. ‘I have a huge cavity!’ he said. The doctor, seeing only a moderate amount of decay, assured him, ‘it will only be small filling.’ ‘But why does it feel so large?’ the patient asked. Just the natural tendency of the tongue to exaggerate, I guess, replied the dentist, with a twinkle in his eyes.
While we may smile at this short anecdote, aren’t many of us equally prone to enlarge things out of proportion? Aren’t we prone to twisting and mixing things up, making it a little colourful than it actually is just to get acceptance? What do you say when your back s against the wall, when you have a close deal or when you really want to impress somebody? Do you exaggerate, falsify, misrepresent, spin or stretch the facts of the matter? Do you lie or do you tell the truth in an open, honest and transparent way? What do you do?
