“Right is right only when entire”

-Victor Hugo

This statement means that if you are going to tell the truth you need to tell the entire truth. If you aren’t you might as well just not say anything because it will be counted as a lie either way. For example, if you went out to two places and your parents asked where you went and you only mention one place then that’s considered lying. Even though you did go to that place you only told partial truth, so it’s lying. If you aren’t going to tell someone everything then you might as well save your breath. You might think that you said the truth because you did go where you said, but there is more to that truth and if you don’t say the entire thing you lied. It is better that you straight up lie than to tell someone only part of it. If you are going to be truthful then say everything, if you aren’t then just keep your mouth shut. It hurts when you lie to someone, but it hurts even more if you only say some of the truth. People are not a joke, so don’t play with them, tell them the truth.
