Well. "Lying" and "not telling the truth" are not always the same thing. "Lying is where you tell a person something with the purpose to deceive them. You can lie and still tell the truth.

Here's an example. Obviously, if I told you the box was red and it really was red and I knew it was red, then I would be telling you the truth and not lying. If I told you the box was blue but it was really red but I thought it was blue, then I would be telling you the truth but I would not be lying. Now if I told the box was blue but it was really red and I knew it was red, then I would be both lying and not telling you the truth. And if I told you the box was blue but it was really red but I thought it was blue, then I would be lying but I would be telling you the truth.

To answer your question, lying and being honest are the same things.

Are you honest?

Well I do believe in some situations you have to lie,but it is never the right thing to do.Everyone has ups and maybe sometimes downs but no matter what it is you have to be truthful.It may occur to be very advancing at telling the truth but think about if you didnt.You wouldn't be trusted,and no one doesnt wanna be trusted.Well am i honest sometimes,but im going to be honest now i do lie sometimes,everyone does.That's part of nature the world we live in today we wouldn't be humans if we didnt lie sometimes.
