CHAPTER-0 "Prologue"

People are all born liars. From the moment we take our first breath, we are conditioned to deceive, though most of us prefer to label it as survival or adaptation.

The irony is, even when we lie to ourselves, we convince ourselves of our own supposed honesty, wrapping our minds in illusions so tightly that we believe the falsities we live by are true.

Imagine, for a moment, a person who claims to have never lied. A rare existence, they would say, pure and untainted by the corruption of deceit. But what such a person doesn't realize is that their very existence would be a lie.

Why? Because in order to function within society, in order to interact with the complexities of life, lies are necessary. They're like invisible threads, holding together the delicate fabric of human relationships and interactions.

If someone truly claimed to have never lied, they'd be breaking that very foundation, and their existence is a lie

Lying is not always malicious. In fact, it's a skill, a tactic we use to navigate the chaotic world around us. It's strategic. Humans lie not for the sake of deceit itself but for survival, for maintaining appearances, and for moving forward in a game we call "life."

But this game isn't fair. It was never designed to be won. We lie because we must, not to achieve victory but simply to endure.

Think about it, How many times have you said something just to keep the peace? Or hid a piece of information to avoid conflict? How often have you smiled when inside you felt the opposite?

These are the lies we live by every day, the small fabrications that help us maneuver through an unforgiving world. They're not always meant to harm, but they're necessary if you want to avoid being crushed by the weight of expectations.

But what's truly tragic is that, from the moment we're born, we have no real freedom. We think we do, humans cling desperately to the idea that they are the masters of their fate, that they are in control of their lives with every decisions.

But they're wrong.

The truth is that we are all slaves to something much greater than ourselves. We are chained by our own intuition and bound by fate. Our actions, our decisions, even our thoughts, they're not truly our own. They're driven by unseen forces, by instincts buried deep within our minds, by fate itself.

Think of life as a game. A rigged game. Every move we make is influenced by something outside of ourselves, whether it's societal pressure, personal desires, or subconscious impulses. And no matter how hard we try to break free, no matter how many strategies we employ, we're always playing within the confines of this predetermined structure.

You see, fate doesn't care about our desires or ambitions. It only cares about moving forward, like a never-ending current pulling us along, whether we like it or not.

Some might think that, with enough wit or determination, they can escape this game, that they can bend fate to their will.

But those who believe such things are fooling themselves. In the end, fate always wins. It's designed that way.

You might think you're making progress, that your lies and your strategies are helping you outwit the system, but the truth is you're only prolonging the inevitable.

But there's no escaping the fact that, no matter what moves we make, we're destined to lose. In the end, everyone loses the game. It's the great equal In the end, everyone loses the game.

It's the great equalizer, a truth that no amount of intellect or cleverness can overcome. You can fight it, resist it, lie to yourself and others, but all you're doing is delaying the inevitable.

You see, life isn't about winning. It never was. It's about surviving, making it through another day while holding on to the illusion of control.

The lies we tell, both big and small, are just our way of coping with the crushing weight of that reality. They help us pretend that we have agency, that we can shape our fate and mold our lives to our liking.

But deep down, we know the truth. We know that every move we make is just another step toward the conclusion that's already written for us.

But even knowing this, we continue to play the game. Why? Because what else can we do? To stop playing would mean to give up, and humans, for all their flaws and falsehoods, are survivors.

We play the game because it's all we know. We lie because it's all we can do.

Yet there's something almost poetic about it. In a world where everything is preordained, where fate dictates every turn, the one freedom we seem to have is in how we deceive ourselves.

We are slaves to intuition, bound by fate, but we can choose our own lies, craft our own illusions. Perhaps that's the one true act of rebellion we have are the ability to decide how we mask the truth.

And maybe, in a way, that's what gives life its meaning. Not the pursuit of victory, but the art of deception.

As I sit here, watching the rain fall outside the window, I think about all the cases I've solved, all the criminals I've caught, and all the lies I've told.

Every case was just another piece of the puzzle, another step in the game. But even with all my intellect, even with all my victories, I know that fate has already determined how this will end. And so, I keep playing, because what else can I do?

I'll continue to lie, to deceive, to manipulate the game as best I can. Not because I think I'll win, but because surviving is the only option I have.

In the end, the truth is clear, we're are all liars, and we're all playing a game we can't win. But as long as I'm still in the game, I'll make sure to play my part well.

Because that, at least, is something I can control.

For humans, lying becomes a strategic tactic of survival in the game called 'life.' We fail to realize that at birth, that our freedom is none, we are slaves to intuition and fate itself, playing a game where, in the end, we inevitably lose no matter what"
