[ It is troubling to me that the word “lie” is gratuitously thrown around on these threads. The word “lie” means there was an intent to deceive – and who can speak to what another is thinking? It is an incendiary word. ]

True... My experience is some that get all excersized over lies are sometimes the scam artists telling them.. Fear of being found out I suspect.. A second reality demands a good cell wall.. to hold in the lies.. partial truths and poisoned reality.. and to hold out fresh and healthy alternative views..

Thank you so much for your reply!

Indeed, the opposite of Truth is "the" Lie which is often characterized by a person living in a reality of his own making (a second reality).

Even so, I find it unhelpful - Spiritually and socially - to label misstatement, incompleteness, inaccuracy and the ilk as a "lie" because it is judgmental per se and will cause the correspondent to throw up defensive walls (or perhaps flame). Such hermetically sealed walls is the characteristic of a second reality, whereas those who seek Truth accept no obstructions.
