    - Where I come from, you see… is not much different from here. Everyone lies here. It's a way of being. We lie about why we came and stayed. We lie to each other in order to have a smoother conversation to each other, we lie to those who live here, or we lie to those who arrive for a short visit, so they can go home with a pleasant feeling. Wewww.onedoor.cc lie because everyone knows the truth, and we lie because lying liberates when the truth becomes unbearable.
