A distinguished lawyer was talking on an internationally well known news network recently. This individual said that, at the end of the day, the most important thing is the truth. I was surprised to hear that. Perhaps this only reflects my naiveté, given that the person is also simultaneously a politician. Nevertheless, it is now a long time ago that I would have shared that belief, unfortunately. At least I fail to see its usefulness as a practical tool to understand how people think, and operate.
