... a person who lies in his thinking is open to suspicions. When he sees someone talking with his brother, he is suspicious and says, “They are talking about me!” if they happen to stop talking, he is still suspicious, suspecting that they stopped because of him. If someone says one word to him, he suspects that he said it to bother him. Simply he is suspicious of his neighbour in everything, saying, “He did that because of me. He said that or did that because of me.” This is the person who lies in his understanding. Nothing he says is true, but all is based on suspicion.
