"The opposite of truth is not necessarily the lie. It can also be another form of dishonesty, namely sentimentality. This takes the form of a mawkish oversimplification of the world in which reality is entirely lost." One of the defining characteristics of our time. Everything is the best thing ever, the most amazing, the saddest, the most outrageous etc. Either a standing ovation or a tragedy. The sentimentality machine in us processes all of our news, every day.
