| Have you ever known anyone who was a pathological liar in general, but tended to be truthful with you? If so, did you trust their word? | |

| Yeah, when I was a kid. Though if you want to get down to it, who among us is all that honest? | |

| No not really, and if I do, I wouldn't take anything they say too seriously. | |

| Yes and it depended on the situation. Usually they lied about dumb shit. | |

| All the liars I know lie to me too. I know one especially who is a pathological liar. I can't even stand listening to his b.s. | |

"Everyone suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known."
Nick Carraway in The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald
OK, so I'm honest enough to tell you that I have lied, for mostly noble reasons, and perhaps once or twice to get my ass out of a crack. Besides, those who do attain total honesty are derided for being tactless.
But, like Nick Carraway, I do strive for honesty. Or, as in the Buddhist precepts "I undertake to observe the rule to abstain from false speech." | |

| But if they were a pathological liar, how could I believe them when they told me they were a liar?  | |
