The whole idea of lawyers being liars and his son wanting his dad to tell the truth for once in his life time, got me thinking about how we wear disguises by pretending to be who we aren’t and creating an unrealistic world in our minds.

The post in context:

This was based on a research programme carried out by the University College London which studied the responses of 7,524 civil servants aged between 35 and 55, to deduce that people who complained of “high levels” of boredom in their lives were at double the risk of dying from heart disease or a stroke than those who find [...]
