Here's an old heads view of what lying means......for the whole concept of it has changed in recent times, fueled by current socail media.
If you lie, then you state something that is not true.....and you know not to be true at that time. Simple.
If someone makes a prediction, which is hopefull, and which turns out wrong, that person didn't lie.
As mentioned receently on media, about giving marriage vows, and then cheating five years down the line being accursed of lying. This is nonsence. Broke a vow....yes. lied....no.
At the time of the lie, the giver must know that what he/she said was an untrue fact, at the time the lie was uttered.
Simple........
