How do you define lying?
How about dishonesty?
a play on words is not lying. if that is what you mean.
i mean, where is the advantage to myself or a loved one in that?
So, lying must be done for advantage?
I was rather hoping for more of a definition,
rather than ONE thing that it is not. I certainly
wouldn't consider play to be lying - as an example,
I tell my colleagues that I can control zombies, which
is clearly a falsehood, but everyone understands it
(well, maybe I don't).
