When I was younger, I would pretend to be superheroes or things I saw on television, and I got to choose from an array of characters: G.I. Joe or Cobra, Autobots or Decepticons, Smurfs or Gargamel, etc.. The idea was good versus evil. Most of us know what good is, but sometimes we do not understand evil.

What is evil?

Evil is deception for personal gain.

What is good?

Good is truth with personal loss.

Our mathematics come from this foundation of understanding; to add or subtract, and to multiply or divide. If we followed arithmetic as if it were our code of ethics, one would want to multiply and add to personal gain. Only then does the question of deception or truth become the motive. This is the question of human nature.

What is deception?

Deception is baring false witness; i.e. lying.

What is truth?

Mathematics.

We have a question to ask ourselves: Do we want to be honest and truthful, or do we want to be deceptive? When people die because you’re deceiving them, there is a problem. When people live because you are telling the truth, there is a solution. When I talk about deception, I am not talking about simple social issues; I am talking about people getting killed because of deceptive belief systems.
