Lies and Sighs

We really have become a culture of liars. The most successfull people are not the most intelligent, most gifted and most hard working workers, but the most ruthless liars. And we all are forced to either play the game or to end up as ruminating sheep. Some analysts already judge the candidates for the most powerful office on Earth not by their abilities and qualifications, but based upon who told fewer lies! Perhaps it should be the other way round? Perhaps the one who is the more professional liar ought to be praised? But both candidates are amateurs in my eyes, because a truly professional liar would be one who isn't caught.
