"Je considère comme un péché mortel non seulement le mensonge des lèvres, mais aussi l'omission de dire toute la vérité, entraînant ainsi la tromperie."

George Sand

Simplified Meaning:

It's not just about telling lies, but also about keeping important information hidden, which can mislead others. For example, if a person knows their colleague is planning something that could harm the company but doesn't share this with their boss, they are not lying, but they are also not being honest. This can cause damage because the boss doesn't have the full picture to make decisions. It's important to be completely open and share all the necessary details. By doing this, you help others understand the situation better and avoid misunderstandings. So, always aim to be fully honest, not just avoid lying, to build trust and prevent problems.
