I'm afraid that Lenin wasn't the only one to discover that repeating a lie often enough is sufficient to make people believe it's the truth.

Me temo que Lenin no fuera el único para descubrir que repetir una mentira bastante frequentemente es suficiente para convencer a la gente que es la verdad.

¿Qúe es suficiente para una buena vida? Muchas personas dirían "el dinero", pero eso no guarantiza la felicidad. El amor, la salud, y la longevidad son muy más importantes.

What is enough for a good life? Many people would say "money", but this does not guarantee happiness. Love, health, and longevity are much more important.
