Vladimir leaned back comfortable in his chair, maintaining eye contact with David.
"It's always easy to say to someone what you think they want to hear, it's easy to say what you do and don't care about when it's not siting directly in front of you, it's easy to tell yourself that you're fighting for some greater good as opposed to serving yourself.
You honestly expect me to believe you've never lied all throughout your life? That's hard to come across even for those who don't intend to do so, the truth generally being based off what one believes rather than what they can back up with facts. I guess if one is willing to lie to himself, he can avoid having ever lied. Are you that kind of man?"
David sighted.
"Well, you're right, Commissar. The truth is being based off what one believes, my bad. And yes, It's easy to say that someone don't care about something when It's not directly in front of him, but if he has clear mind and knows what he wants, It's easy to say so even if It's in the front of him. And no, I'm not willing to lie myself. I did that enough in my "past life", as I call it."
David was still looking straight into the Commissar's eyes.
