Is hiding considered as lying?? Recently when we were out at my hubbys friends place someone came up with this question...Ever since I cant take it out of my mind..And thats why am gonna post my views ..
The moment this question was raised my instincts told me that hiding is lying. I've been thinkin about it lately and the more I think ,the more I am convinced that I am right..
I feel the only difference between them is that one you are telling a lie and the other is living it. If you are hiding the truth, you are living a lie. .One is a lie of confession - the other a lie by omission - bottom line is both lies..
I think its morally wrong to lie but so is hiding the truth. Some of my hubbys friends(now mine too) disagreed with me because 'hiding the truth' is totally a different thing altogether.
But then again am just posting my views.. It is hard to say at what point something becomes a lie.If u have any views please do lemme know...
