Adam Mysock
A Sense of Guilt

2018

About the Item

A portrait of Fred Rogers, Mr. Rogers I suppose I like to believe that liars know they’re lying. I like to believe it’s a controlled activity. And if they know what they’re doing, I trust that they realize that lying isn’t something everyone does. Figures like Fred Rogers offer us all an alternative path, away from a life of lying. But being Mr. Rogers surely involves a great degree of discipline or sacrifice. And who has time for that? Constantly being decent takes focus and energy. Lies are easy. Lies take little effort. Lies happen when we’re sleepy.
