About the Item

A portrait of Lance Armstrong We tend to exercise differing levels of tolerance for different liars. Some people get called out immediately, while others are given a pass time and time again. It begs an investigation into which factors define the former group and which define the latter. I think it’s safe to say that being attractive and/or wealthy certainly help garner support and certain clemency. But perhaps there are other characteristics that help. The more agreeable characteristics we have, the more likely it is that we’ll be excused from our false actions. But this likability requires maintenance in the same way a lie does. Let your guard down for too long and you’ll find yourself out of favor quickly.
