Meanwhile, in Dobrzyn, Hili is schooled on the reality of life:
Hili: Why is the truth always left in the shadows?
A: Because it demands concentration and fools are enchanted by the vulgar entertainment of liars.
Hili: Dlaczego prawda zostaje zawsze w cieniu?
Ja: Bo wymaga skupienia, a kłamcy urzekają głupców jarmarczną zabawą.
Hah! Bravo, Hili! Vulgar entertainment indeed. It is everywhere one looks these days.

That’s true Hili. Can you be my conscience?
Ahhh, I have a quote to go with that :
“Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.”
-Blaise Pascal

Ah. Excellent quotations. Thank you Bryan.
Yes, indeed. Been fooling myself much of my life. I’ve done it twice today!
