Summary

This quote suggests that dealing with a government that is highly skilled in deceit is incredibly challenging. When mendacity, or the habit of lying, becomes an established practice within a government, it implies that truth and transparency may be rare commodities. Therefore, individuals or entities trying to navigate or negotiate with such a government will face significant obstacles in discerning what is genuine and trustworthy. It underscores the struggle of engaging with a system that operates on a foundation of constant deceit and makes the process of governance even more complicated.

Each of us has the right and the responsibility to asses the road which lie ahead and those over which we have traveled, and if the feature road looms ominous or unpromising, and the road back uninviting-inviting, then we need to gather our resolve and carrying only the necessary baggage, step off that road into another direction. If the new choice is also unpalatable, without embarrassment, we must be ready to change that one as well.
