works against me

"Being not truthful works against me" is part of a list in Stefan's diary titled: "Things I have learned in my life so far". Like most aphorisms the sentence "Being not truthful works against me" requires habitual commitment. But one might also sense controversy in this statement and quesition not only the idea of "truth" but also the value of making truthfulness a rule. Both, the exposure and the need to constantly work on such a position are the subject of this interactive picture.
