Obviously, in typical :reddit-logo: fashion, they went on and diluted the impact with unnecessary sentences. But I can definitely see a good kernel in here that you can edit into a proper piece of dialogue.
Only if it's like, a first person perspective of a dumb guy. Truth isn't some superhero that keeps lies in check, there is no karmic response to lying. It's just saying things that aren't true on purpose.
Ooh that’s good, yeah. The kind of metaphor a character use also tells you about the character. I can imagine the person saying this as a mean old fart/mentor figure with a heart of gold.
