Beautiful take and reminder.
And I’m not a fan of criticizing the persians other than the conversion of order vs chaos to good vs evil.
That said, if you are unfortunate enough to study the evolution of human lying, fraud, and baiting into hazard you will have a very different understanding of the influence of religion, and especially the Abrahamic religions, on human history. And wonder, why they so easily spread where and when they did, despite the Hindu, Buddhist, Confucian, and Greek – especially stoic – alternatives.
Teaching mankind how to lie at scale isn’t something that produced positive outcomes.
