What happens when you tell a lie or promulgate a falsehood?

Then all who hear form in their minds another lie or falsehood.

Although that may at first succeed to get the hearer to the liar’s service, once the hearer learns that he’s deceived, the liar faces what proceeds as loss of trust and call for vengeance on the liar.

Thus the liar faces what must come to him as anger, hate and even attack that he has nurtured, along with conflict in the whole community, between those still accepting lies and those that understand that they’ve been duped.

This is the way of those that live by lies.
