A falsehood is not a lie unless it is told with the intent to deceive. Once, I was asked whether or not I had attended a meeting on a particular subject. The meeting had been held many months before. I had no memory of the meeting, so I said that I hadn’t attended. Subsequently, the taped minutes of the meeting clearly indicated that I had been present and had taken part. I heard my voice, but only a hazy memory of the meeting surfaced. Did I lie? No. I simply apologized for not remembering.
