What is the actual definition of lying?
www.thefreedictionary.com/lie:
1. A false statement deliberately presented as being true; a falsehood.
2. Something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression.
What about withholding specific details? Is that considered lying? What if information is withheld to keep someone's feelings from being hurt? Would this be considered a 'good' lie?
Sometimes it hurts to be told the whole truth. Do I let it keep hurting if it helps? Who can I turn to? I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. I'm just confused. I'm not quite sure what to do or how I should feel.
