Which is more plausible, there's TRUTH in every LIE or there's a LIE in every TRUTH?

Answer 1

Can light abide with Darkness? Will White and Black make Gray? I admit your question resembles a Chinease Philosopher known as Yang. Let me get to buisness answering your question. To tell truth, someone is accomodated or familiarized theirselves with a heritage of Liars. Evidently, if you was reared around a lying background would you become a liar, just as a theif teaches his children to steal? Some, desire to detach themselves from those lifestyles and do a 360* on what the right thing to do is. Still, others become what they were taught, they know no different.
Your question is different, though! You asked can someone slip a Lie into partial truth, or Give Partial Truth and Full Lie = Which is Plausible? I need to meditate as the ancient Chinease Buddha to transmit this answer, Okay! it came to me.
In order to make a heaping order of Truth + Lie, one must exhibit a youthful eye pleasing countenance, don't concur that all liars are beautiful, although with a little touch of prestige, notoriety, and service to the community, one can cancel out all the exhibital flaws in appearance, speech, documentation, and of course reputable signatures. There is a lie on every price tag __ for I am already decieving you that I am qualified to speak on a subject, demonstrated by my pressed suit , or Ethan Allen Briefcase. One can look you in the eye while speaking lie upon lie, then towards the end of that lecture, slip in one irrelevent truth since words at the beginning or end tend to stick in your mind the most, further swaying your opinion (psy 101).
One can decieve a whole neighborhood by the fact that he/she commutes to the workplace and is vacant from 9-5 pm. The BTK serial killer is the perfect illustration of an elusive pastor who no one ever suspected, very friendly man who even had a wife and children. I ask you was there any Truth in his teachings from the Bible? There was truth, but his identity and mind was a LIE. I am certain, this doesn't condemn all pastors, not all pastors are liars or kill off half the town. Just an example.
Former President Bill Clinton is another indication of Partial Truth, Partial Lie. When asked did he have sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky, he swore under oath, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman miss Lewinsky..." Sexual Relations, I assume he implied full blown intercourse. It was asking if he had any sexual encounters with her, that were evaulated as sexual in nature, I feel he knew what they were asking considering his extensive educational background. I think he even went to a Notable school like Harvard. So, the partial lie was, as he put it, I did not have sex.... ual relations...
The question didn't include sex, but was meant to indicate.
Again, some of us who are either Moral or of good faith try to 'never' lie. So, these are the tough guys to discern if at all, there ever is a lie deceptful statement. Apparently, if they are caught in a lie, they excuse it off as mistake, just kidding, those sort of things. Ask yourself, is their life a Lie? Have they had to use tools naked of excursion to get to the position they are at? Did they see others who were in a pickle and didn't lift a finger to help?
I could sit here all night and give you examples of lie/truth, lie=truth, truth=lie, etc. Chances are it probably will take more time than it is worth, won't be coming out of a textbook or another persons mouth, and won't win me best answer as I hoped it would. Only discipline that I hold is always tell the truth, no matter what, and all the liars will have to squeeze through some where. And, people who Lie, no matter how many years expierence, do wear a mark upon the seal of their forehead, easily spottable. Don't Lie and Don't Lie to get Truth, and Don't tell Truth to get a Lie, you Don't want to Make someone else a liar, either.

Answer 2

Hi,
A really difficult one!
Perhaps it's easier to imagine there MAY be some truth in a lie (but not every one) for instance the saying 'there's no smoke without a fire' is often used to suggest there is some truth in rumours.
There's also a 'little white lie' that might be a flexible version of the truth!
But for a 'lie to be in every truth' means the truth is not the truth so the truth in every lie is the more plausible of the two.

Answer 3

Hello there, I think that the one that is more plausible is that there is a truth in every lie, people lie for many reasons sometimes to protect others, sometimes to hide the wrong doing, etc. but the point is that the lie is created to hide the truth. so their is truth behind the lie. LOL have I lost you yet with my ramblings anyway basically the lie is born out of the truth and it's motives. see ya I'm at work gotta go. take care dear enki.

Answer 4

Neither are plausible. But the first part is closer. It's an exaggeration to say that there's truth in every lie, but there is truth in some lies. On the other hand, there aren't lies in any truth. That's a contradiction.

Answer 5

In terms of genuine TRUTHFULNESS, when someone speaks truth - by definition a statement of fact or a philosophical precept that has been tested as reliable - it would take a stretch of semantics or interpretation to find a lie within.

The more plausible is that there is truth in every lie. One can easily state a lie knowing it is a lie in the context, but using a general event.
Simple examples:

A: "You're late. Where were you?"

B: "I stopped at the store."

B stopped at the store that day, but not in relation to being late, so it is a lie in answer to the implied question "Why are you late?"

Another,

A: "Did you finish your homework?"

B: "Yes."

Today's homework remains unfinished, and B knows A was asking about today's homework. B is referring to yesterday's homework, thus the answer is a lie.

(There are manipulative people that have the ability to use such truth in a lie as a way of life, and fool even themselves into believing they are not liars.)

Answer 6

Both can be so, because 'truth' is such a subjective element. What is 'true' for one, can be a 'lie' ( or rather not-truth ) for another. And this is exactly as it should be.

The trick is in not focusing on what others believe to be true, and allowing that everyone is entitled to believe as they wish. This sounds hard in a world where we are conditioned to believe that 'Truth' is an immutable commodity, that it is 'objective', that one truth should fit all.

If we can learn to believe whatever we choose to, and allow everyone else the same courtesy, we will be well along the way to becoming a highly-evolved species.

Answer 7

In the absolute neither is plausible. In going with the question I would say there is a truth in every lie. The better to pretend to be believeable.

Answer 8

theres a truth in every lie. when someone lies, some parts of it are ALWAYS true. they just changed a few key facts...but they left some things the same. just to keep things straight. some people tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (so help them god) :-D so...there cant be a lie in every truth, unless they dont know its a lie (something they believe to be the truth)....
very interesting!!

Answer 9

I refuse to stray into such things as, is your truth my truth, what is truth; what is a lie, when is it harmful & so on.
Rather, I'll focus on ABSOLUTE truth & ABSOLUTE lie. I have seen, over years of experience with human behaviour:

Truth contains not the slightest bit of a lie.
Lies are more complex. Since lie is a fabrication of truth, little truths "seep" in like rain under a door that has not been sealed. The truths are in the liar's mind, & that's the way the lie is revealed. The most clever liar will slip, eventually.

There is indeed truth in evey lie. There is no lie in truth.

Answer 10

Just picture a fact, any fact, that has been labeled a "truth". It has the surface called truth, but like a coin, its opposite face is "lie".

So- grasshopper (lol) both are plausible.

What is your solid as a rock truth may be called something else somewhere in the world, or the fallacy of this era in the future.

On the other hand, someones bald face lies may be proven by some ongoing study to be a scientific fact within the next two days, or weeks or years.

Existence on earth will teach you lessons whether you expect them or not, and whether you like them or not.
