Since the dawn of recorded literature, the fight between telling the truth and lying has played a fundamental part in the lives of men. When Adam and Eve lied to God in the Garden of Eden in that seminal story, they ensured that this conflict would go onto emblazon on the consciousness of people for generations to come the cultural importance of telling the truth. Even today, in the age of politicians who spew expedient lies with brazen arrogance, and misinformation everywhere via social media, there is still a stigma associated with spreading falsehoods. The corrupting nature of telling lies, first represented by that biblical story in Genesis, is as present with us today as it was for the writers of the bible years ago.
