Summary

This quote suggests that there is a distinction between lying and not telling the truth. While lying involves deliberately stating falsehoods, not telling the truth implies withholding or omitting information, even if one does not directly lie. The quote points out that although someone may not be lying, their failure to disclose the truth still prevents others from obtaining a complete and accurate understanding of a situation. It highlights the importance of not only avoiding lies but also actively sharing the truth for genuine communication and integrity.
