Yes.  i tell true lies all the time.  One can lie by omission as well as commission.  When someone asks me why i did something, i give them a reason.  Naturally, they assume it is THE reason.  i may have had 9 or 10 diff. reasons, no one said the reason given, was even in the top 5.  It is not nescessarily my MOTIVE, if you follow me.  There are many other examples when you speak in a kind of code, to determine who really GETS you, ya know?

ask one man what answer the other man will give if asked which door is the door that leads to life and take the opposite door.\n\n2 scenarios:\n\nIf you happen to ask the honest man " what door will mr liar tell me is the door to life? " whatever the answer is take the opposite door.\n\nIf you ask the liar " what door will mr honest tell me is the door to life? " take the opposite because its still a lie\n\nI think thats right.!!!

You wouldn't be lieing if it was the truth in the first place, but if you lied in the first place then you'd be lieing. But the lie about the truth was a lie and so they may not believe that the truth about the lie about the truth was true or not, because you did lie before.

Great topic!\n\nI am amazed that there are so many adults who do not consider some of the things they say or do not say, as a lie. For instance: sometimes people make up stories and tell it for fun. It may be a hunting story, fishing story, etc. This is done as a fantasy. The important thing to remember is that if you tell the story...you and the others must identify it is not really true....or it is a lie. Another example of a lie people do not always admit as lying is...when someone states something they think is true and then discover later that it is not true. The person really should then rectify the situation and admit they said something and found out it was not the truth. When a purposeful untruth is told, it is an outright lie. It is meant to deceive. This leads to disappointing others, others never really belive you and they eventually stop trusting you.  Then the time may come and you may be telling the truth...but too late...others don't believe you even when you do tell the truth. Some people actually believe that the only way a lie is told is in that manner. Not true! You can lie with your actions. You may cause a person to believe something not true by acting a certain way. (Example; child breaks a vase and throws it out and pretends not to know anything about it.) A lie can be done by being silent. You may cause someone to believe something by saying nothing. (Example: a mother asks the children who broke a window, and all the children know, but no-one tellls anything).The cycle of lying usually continues when one lies. The next thing one knows is they lie to cover another lie and so on. Most intelligent people, know when someone is lying to them. It doesn't change anything...except the credibility of the one who lies. Another form of lying is not telling a complete truth. Any form of not telling a complete truth or an admission of a complete truth in words or actions is a lie. \nI honestly do not intentionally lie. However, about two weeks ago we had company and this person asked me something and I did not want to go into it so I lied. When the company left. my husband said to me ..."why did you lie?" I reallly had to stop and think about it. I am a woman of value. I work hard to practice what I believe in. I am an honest person. I try hard to use tact and not lie. I usually would reply to someone who asked a personal question that I did not feel like answering with something like...why do you ask? I usually try to find an answer that will not offend the other person, but will also allow me to keep my personal life personal without lying. Sometimes, I like everyone find myself in a place I don't like to be. I feel dirty or shamed when I do that. Long story short...I felt guilty and called the person up and explained it. No one is perfect. There is not a sole alive who has not told a lie at one time or another. I can honestly say I do not lie on a daily basis, but sometimes I do find myself bordering the ethical line. I want people to trust me, I strive to be honest and keep integrity....but it is a daily struggle to be in tune with complete and open honesty!

I think you should tell her the truth. Truth does hurt but being lied to by someone you love hurts even more.

good on you for telling her off.\nThey are probably continuing more discreetly.\nFace it, they both lied to you until you found them out.

In the end lying will come back to haunt you. Even though you didn't hurt anyone ELSE with lying, you're still hurting *yourself*. If you lie a lot and get your way, and no one get's hurt, you will begin to believe that you CAN'T hurt someone else, and everyone knows that even the smallest white lie can snowball into something huge.

In the film "The Labyrinth," the heroine comes across two talking doors.  She must choose which door to enter.  The real brain-tickler is the preface that one of the talking doors always tells the truth and the other always lies.\n\nThe heroine poses the question to door A, "If I asked door B, 'Which door leads to my destination?' what would he say?"\n\nIf door A responds, "He would say your destination lies behind me," then she knows the real path is behind door B because no matter who is lying and who is truthful, the lier's response will negate the truthful one's.\n\nIf door A responds, "He would say your destination lies behind himself," then it can be deduced that the path is behind door A, again following this logic of reversal.\n\nSo, whatever response either door gives will always be incorrect and the heroine should choose the other door.

I am not sure of the lie.. but if you have proof you didn't say it let people know.  And depending on the lie.. you have a right to say whatever you want.  Constitution says so.

This is a tough one - do you tell the truth or lie.  Lot's of luck, I wish I had an answer for you.
