Yeah. if you liked this one remember that I've done a lot more by him. You could check him out. He, he always has a good quote. But anyway. Let's look at today's quote. If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything. Basically it means you don't have to remember your lies. But let's take a look at the note here. There is a lot of truth to this quote. Once you tell one lie or get in the habit of lying, you'll often have to tell more lies. Sometimes to cover your previous lies. Okay. Of course this can lead to a series of lies. If you get up to this point. It could get hard to keep track of your lies. So if you lie a lot. You got to remember. Well, what you got to keep track. You got to like almost write it down and what lies because if you don't, maybe eventually the people you're lying to will say, hey this doesn't make sense. You've said this and this and this cannot be true at the same time. Okay. So you might get caught in a lie. You may eventually end up being a perpetual liar. You know, somebody that just lies all the time. Sooner or later, you will probably get caught in one or more lies. If you are not careful you will become a compulsive liar. Well, it almost becomes like an addiction to you , and you may end up starting to believe your own lies. A lot of people that do lie a lot, they lie so much that they can almost practically change their memories and think that the lies are the truth. Because they've in their head, they've gone over those lies so many times. So be careful of that. However others probably see through you. They can see it . If you want to avoid all this, listen to Mark Twain. Tell the truth and you don't have to remember anything. So remember when he's saying, You don't have to remember anything. He means you don't have to remember your web of lies. Your series of lies . Your connected lies. Because the more lies you tell, the more complicated it gets. The more you have to hold in your memory, and you have to be able to continue with the lies that cover all the other lies. So if you just tell the truth, you don't have to fuss. You don't have to think about all that. Just tell the truth. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it is clear. I hope hope it was informative. Thank you for your time. Bye- bye.
