  Lying, the deliberate act of communicating false information, has been a part of human behavior for centuries. It is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that plays a role in many aspects of life, from personal relationships to politics, business, and beyond. While most people recognize lying as morally wrong, it remains a pervasive and unavoidable part of the human experience. This chapter will explore the nature of lying, the different types of lies, and why people engage in this behavior. 
  At its core, lying involves providing information that the speaker knows to be false, with the intent to deceive the listener. Unlike mistakes or misunderstandings, lies are intentional and often involve a conscious decision to mislead. Lying can take many forms, ranging from small, seemingly harmless "white lies" to more harmful and deliberate fabrications designed to achieve personal gain or avoid consequences. While some lies may appear trivial, others can have significant consequences, leading to broken trust, damaged relationships, or even harm to others. 
  The act of lying is not limited to individuals but can also be embedded in larger societal and cultural practices. From politicians who manipulate public opinion to corporations that mislead consumers about the quality of their products, deception is often employed as a tool to achieve power, influence, or financial success. Understanding the motivations behind lying is key to understanding its prevalence and persistence in society. People lie for various reasons: to protect themselves, to avoid punishment, to gain an advantage, or to spare others' feelings. The reasons behind a lie often depend on the context and the perceived consequences of telling the truth.

  Human Nature

  The poems in Human Nature offer a stunning and tender ecology. It’s impossible to turn away from the awe and beauty, even as the poems also engage in playfulness and grief and resistance. In these deeply spiritual poems, the body is intricately bound to the natural world. As readers of this work, we can feel both the immense power and smallness of our human hands trembling in each shimmering line. 
  —Stacey Waite, author of Butch Geography 
  Embodying a rainbow of emotions, the poetry of Paschold grounds the reader to the world around them and those that inhabit it, big and small. 
  —Joel Sartore Photography - Office Staff 
  Julie Paschold takes a bold swing right in the title of her collection Human Nature, the delineation of which has been the prime ambition of literary folks since the first someone put pen to paper. Even, or especially, when “[w]e thin-skinned hairless beings” look outside ourselves at spiders and crocodile icefish, we also hold up a mirror in order to study our own reflection. Who can’t at times identify with “a prairie vole, / popcorn of the prairie, / . . . everything is out to eat me”? And it’s not just our fellow critters we see ourselves in: Even “[t]he sky has a sliver caught in her thumb.” It's this commonality which drives the poems and helps us understand where and how we fit in. 
  —JV Brummels, author of All the Live-Long Day

  About the Book 
  Many have compared the “Roaring Twenties” from the last century, to the 2020s of the 21st century. The new freedoms of this era (similar to 100 years ago) have caused disruptions, mainly as the Internet ‘flattens’ our world and accelerates outcomes that can be felt around the globe. One certainty, no matter how the new economic, political, and social structures will evolve, is the appearance of bad actors that will continue to use cyber warfare and cyber insecurity to their benefit. This book details in an easy-to-read format how we can best protect our “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness” in our new digital age.
