What is a lie exactly? Is it lie when I make a prediction like...I am going to make $10,000 this month and don't. Did my statement become a lie when I couldn't fulfill my prediction?
Is a lie only a lie if I have the intent to deceive. Kind of like when my girlfriend asks if her butt looks too big and I answer the boys at Louisiana School for the VI would be thrilled with her body. I didn't lie but I didn't tell the truth, so did I lie?
Nobody wants to lie, nobody wants to be completely honest, but mostly no one wants to keep their mouth closed. Am I being cynical?
