Is there a fine line between secrets and lies or do you think they're one and the same? (Page 3)

[Tstrbrainer]

There's a fine line even though both are not meant to be told

Your nick, should prevent you from those stupid presumptions or it is just target far away?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Excuse me?

Secrets are pretty different from lies.

For secrets it's just in your head and as you aren't telling anyone then that's clearly not lying. Also secrets are always truthful otherwise why would you keep it a secret.

For lying you are telling people fake truths and making stuff up, which is totally different from secrets.

[JesseCraft07]

Great question 👍

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Thanks.. but if you keep a secret with the intention of deceiving that person, at that point aren't they one and the same?

[JesseCraft07]

Not necessarily as lying is verbal, you can't lie if you don't say anything. Deceiving someone doesn't always mean they're lying as they could be secretly planning to do something to hurt you emotionally but they don't tell anyone, that's just being secretive which isn't lying. Hope this clears it up 🙂

Are is saying something that isn't true.
A secret is basically not saying what you know.

[Gedaria]

Secrets, are something you know or have found out about a person.
A lie is telling something that is not true...

[OddBeMe]

They’re not different or similar. Lying is not telling the truth and secrets are just things you don’t say.

[pigoat]

They are one and the same and also a fine line

👍👍🙂

[douride2]

I am thinking there is a very fine line here.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah I think that's the way I lean

[jmf909]

A lie is your telling something untrue a secret your not telling anyone anything

[allenwants2]

Oh yes the sin of omission

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Ah see yes 💯If it's because you know that's something that would change an outcome or decision it's still deceiving someone...

[allenwants2]

Yes not that I'm a bible thumper I believe you are correct

[allenwants2]

If I may complement you on explaining things with such clairety

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Thank you

Not telling someone something, isn't a lie

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

But what if it's too deceive them, or it's something they do have a right to know as your partner?

[Dave31989]

If you don't tell someone something, it's not lying.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

[redvelvetcx]
