In Oxford Dictionary,
Lie - an intentionally false statement.
Truth - the quality or state of being true / a fact or belief that is accepted as true
But when you demand for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, it means you demand for absolute veracity of a statement (Oxford Dict).
If you are a person who dislike lies and someone told u the truth but not the whole truth, do you consider it as a lie? How will you feel about it when you know the whole truth?? In dilemma? or you have the answer in your mind?
In my own opinion, if you tell me the truth but not the whole truth, it is still a lie. This is my dictionary... how about you? What's in your dictionary?
