Becoming Insane

Well here's a funny thing...

Usually, lawyers, tend to exaggerate in the describing, when they talk about things or when they write appeals. 

We do so to get what we want; to make the judge feel sorry and give us what we asked for at the end of the day.

So I came to notice lately that when I am writing an appeal for someone and I am describing the situation or the life of that person, I start getting into details and try my best to show how miserable that person is as much as I can, while imagining some kind of sad background music playing. Like I actually hear myself telling the story and making it so sad, while a dramatic sad music playing in the background, in my head.

LOL.

I guess I get myself too much in the story as I am typing, to make it more terrible and sad. I think I am getting good at this - the exaggerating thing! 

But really, I do imagine some sort of sad music whilst describing a miserable life...

I know, I'm crazy! (:

By the way, with that being said, I'll take the chance to clarify this; It is not true that lawyers lie. There is a difference between lying and not telling the truth. Sometimes we just don't tell the whole truth. And if we lie, usually it is an acceptable lie, where even the judge knows that it is a lie but it's just okay (it is complicated a little bit and I'm not getting into that now), but that's just all. We don't lie but we do exaggerate and make huge big deals out of little tiny things.
