Unlike ancient times during which stating the truth straightforwardly was the common practice,playing with words appears to depict today's communication style. Indeed, the flagrant use of equivocations has, nowadays, become a phenomenon that characterizes people's 'verbal behavior'. Instead of the Utopia that humankind has long dreamt of, today's society seems to endorse lies, treacheries, and duplicities. People tend to systematically act in incongruity with their sayings, and lead a life of flaws and contradictions; clubs were created for prevarications and lies; the truth has become multiple truths dressed in different facets while associated withunprecedented numerous fallacies. Patience was lost in the midst of deplorable mendacities; deceits thrived and witnessed the rise of copious admirers upon whom leading positions are bestowed and subsequently the supremacy to eradicate those who challenge their perfidies and lies. The question is: How long can the few remaining 'truth believers' resist before the lying tsunami gobbles them? Indeed, lying with its diverse forms has penetrated today's economic, social, political, commercial, and religious aspects of life.
