They definitely know the difference, but what makes us all wide-eyed crazy is that they feel absolutely no shame about getting caught in a huge lie. Moreover, they're not only cavalier when they're caught in a lie, they'll also look us right in the eyes and lie to us again, moments later.
If George and Cindy were kids of mine, I'd be utterly frantic about their lack of respect for the truth; about their lack of understanding that a lie is an insult to the person being lied to, and that it takes courage to be truthful but the rewards are great and immediate.
If Casey was a child of mine, I'd save my breath re the above and just sleep with my door locked. If Lee was a child of mine, I'd marvel at how handsome and promising his is, and I'd cry myself to sleep because he's so messed up. However, I'd try to find some solace in knowing he has a beautiful head of hair, and that if he ever starts balding, his eyebrows can be harvested for hair plugs without damaging his good looks in the least.
Seriously, I look at these five attractive people and I see so much promise...promise that they chose not to make the effort to fulfill.
It's tragic. And, when I also look at the suffering and injustice they're fostered, I find them more revolting and despicable than merely tragic.
