definition of a lie

I use this definition of white and black lies.

White lies are used to self-protect and/or not hurt others.

Such as, "You look great" I told my aunt who'd just had her breast removed and I was helping her get ready to receive visitors. When in  actual fact she looked like shit.

Or when my stormin' husband would say, did you remember to pay the cable TV bill. If I'd forgotten I'd still say yes, and then run off and pay it immediately. hahahahah Phew!  :shock: I don't care about this seeming deceitful. It was survival at the time for me.

Although now I say, "No, I forgot, you better go and do it." hahahahahaha

Black lies to me are all the rest intended for self-elevation (big noting, and exaggerating I put in this bucket) and to decieve, manipulate, put down and to hurt others. Lies are a form of stealing.
