Lying

I think we agree.

For instance: My intent was not to kill him. My intent was to push him off the bridge.

Pretty much. You can get away with anything if our definitions change by our intent

Wisdom does not equal good.

Not wise does not equal bad.

OK?

That's a very "Eastern" perspective where Truth/Wisdom is beyond the polarities including good and bad.

That sounds good.

I lie to myself everyday.

I convince myself that I could do anything if I wanted. Just makes initiating things much easier. Then I deal with the fallout later.

I would need an example.

You just gave some examples.

I think he really saw Jesus. But, trying to take a picture of him was foolish and sad imo.

That picture, he was taking a picture of his grandson, and after the fact he, and actually a lot of people later on, would see Jesus in the shadows.
The visions he had during a medical crises when he was so stressed out of his mind he had a trip to the ER because his body was over worked, severely under-rested, and failing.
Outside of that incident he's fairly normal.

I lied. Today, on the forum, I posted that I read all @kjw47 's posts. But it isn't true. It is true I read all his posts that are in a conversation that I am a part of. See?

Someone reading "I read all your posts" will have a different opinion of the way I use my time than if I say, "In a conversation I am having with you, I read all your posts."

The first one misleads, but not with the intention to mislead.

Got it?
