When truth is exaggerated or stretched to further an agenda, then does it still remain the truth? I think the problem I have with people who exaggerate the truth is that they are doing it for a certain reason, and then I have to ask myself what that reason may be. However, I do agree that material like this can be extremely motivating, but imagine if you based your entire career on something you thought was the truth, but later found out was actually made up by someone. I would certainly feel confused and maybe even a bit angry about it.
