Lying Defined
A statement that is contrary to fact, spoken with the intent to deceive.
It is not a lie if I tell you it is noon, but then realize my watch has stopped and it is actually 1 pm.
It is a lie if it is 1 pm (and I know it’s 1 pm), I tell you it is noon -and I did so with the intent of making you late for a meeting because it would get you fired and I would be promoted to your position.
