veracity.

to learn from it.

All learning is completed during that lifetime.

the authors.

My observations.
1) Power = aphrodisiac for corruption
2) Lying = natural state of humanity (survival instinct for self-preservation)
3) Greed = See # 2
4) Animals = Humans (we are animals first, then we try unsuccessfully to
distinguish ourselves from that fact)
There are more, but this is a start.
