Cheating and lying

I think cheating is badder than lying. In fact sometime we do lie with our lover also but it is sweet lie, i think, it is not the truth but it is no harm also, it makes our lover happy.

Hi friend, both cheating and lying activities is bad thing, we must avoid them. If you hide the truth for some purpose, then it is not consider as a lie, if you tell a information which is not the truth, it is only consider as a lie, there is nothing wrong in hiding some information for good purpose, and it don't take as a lie or a cheating activity, you just hide the truth for some purpose

Lying for a purpose still lying, but I believe a lie could save someone else. Like, what if someone is too angry and was looking for your friend. You are hiding your friend to save him/her- that's why you lied. But cheating is doing the thing in actual and maybe repeatedly. Cheating in school, like during exams, that is really bad. Cheating on your friends, and your loved ones is not good. That's the difference I saw between the two.

i think lying is one way of cheating.. they are very much connected..lying is an instrument in cheating. People lie to cheat somebody.. For example, if it is time to get your salary.. You lie to the persons who gives it and say that your friend would like you to get the salary for him, even if he didn't say so. Then you cheat that certain friend, you get the money that's supposed to be his.

It is definitely a lie. For boys, please note that if your girlfriend, wife or partner is asking you about something, answer them. Because, definitely the girl knows every little thing about it, and would just like to know if you will tell them or not.

Hi, I think cheating and lying both are bad things. For cheating someone the person has to tell lie. But sometimes we have to tell lie for goodness of someone. Lie has the speed and truth has endurance.

Well, it is something really complicated. Cheating and lying are both like the two sides of a coin. Doing either of it is a wrong thing and a person should avoid doing it. But there are few situations in life where a person has to lie or hide the truth for a good purpose. So, when a person lies for a good reason , then according to me, such a lie isn't actually a LIE! But I think it will be much better if a person hides the truth rather than lying. Umm... if not, taking a proper decision whether to hide the truth or lie according to the situation will be a much better option. But even if we are doing such a thing, we should make sure that later on we go and apologize to that person even though we did it for a good purpose. Anyways, I really hope that such situations don't arise at all! :)

To me the main difference is really this to me in a nutshell. Cheating is the actual actual that is going to be dishonest to the person, where do one thing that is betraying a person. While lying is the actual dishonest words right there, where you just tell a person something that is not true. There are times where someone can do both or one or another. Essentially lying is the verbal action while cheating has to be an absolute physical response. The two terms have gotten really mixed up right with a lot of people, where they are unable to really distinguish between the two right out there. Some people lie about the fact that they cheat, and they think they are protecting others, but really they are not.

For me, truth is as important as anyone's own dignity. So once a person hides something or kept someone away from knowing the truth, then it is still a lie. Not telling the truth is just prolonging the lie. And that is so true. I still believe that even though the truth hurts, it would still give you that sense of freedom and respect that the other person cared so much for you and didn't want to make a fool out of you. Cheating and lying, they're pretty much the same thing but with just different tweaks and form. I would rather be told the truth than a whole bunch of lies that be made a fool for not knowing what lies beneath each action, each word and everything that is being done to you. Once lies are done in any relationship or friendship, trust can never be restored no matter how much you try to.

For me, withholding the truth is different from telling a lie. It won't hurt if someone does not know the whole truth. To lie is to tell something that is not true. Lying is a form of cheating.

Who says some people are cheating? You can cheat in many ways, I think many people are cheating (while playing a game for example or if the practise sports..). I think cheating is more like an act (something you do but don't tell), lying = denying or I should say: saying the opposite of what is the truth. You can discuss about the fact if hiding or a secret is lying as well. If a compliment you don't really mean is lying as well, or saying the new born baby looks smart to you (although you don't see the difference) is lying as well. Personally I don't see or feel the need to share everything or spit out everything. Many people are not interested in that either. So if it comes to withholding the truth it depends on what you withhold. Does the other person expect you to tell how or what? To me for sure lying is if you are asked and you say it's not that case... this besides of the fact most people can't stand the truth or a straight answer. If you tell them the truth they frequently don't even believe you.

Whatever it is, your friend still lied to her. Anyone, especially partners, has the right to know the truth no matter how hurtful it may be. I've been in such sitaution and it surely hurts to know something that has been kept from you while you learned about such matter from other people. Cheating and lying are the same in my opinion.

Lying and cheating goes together, there is no truth in lying and neither in cheating. The society nowadays doesn't help you to tell the truth, you see it on TV, on the street, everywhere because most people rejected God you have a world of cheaters and liars.

For me they are the same. Cheating is lying. When you cheat someone, it is also the same that you are lying to someone.
