Don't confuse A truth with THE truth and don't imagine anything is quite what you imagine.
A good liar must work. They use their own imagination to make the story, but ultimately know that a lie must contain at least some truth to be effective. Since most people would rather believe a convenient lie over a convicting truth and will go along with some really screwy stuff rather than verify.
The best liars however, know that one can tell a truth without representing the truth. They have to do very little work at all. They use the imagination of the audience to fill in the blanks. They know the best lies simply require selected partial truths and people will fill in the details of their own convenience and conviction for them.
Live in truth and you will know the lies. Live in lies and they are all you will ever know.
