please tell me because someone says theres no difference|||There is a big difference, though sometimes politicians try to blur the line.
Lying is saying something you know or believe not to be true.
Changing your mind is changing your knowledge or belief based on evidence that recently came to your attention.
Say a congressman%26#039;s chief-of-staff is accused of killing a stripper. The congressman maintains his chief-of-staff is innocent. Later, he says he changed his mind because someone showed him new evidence. Was the congressman lying before? Only if he knew of the evidence before. Did he change his mind in both scenarios? Yes, though in the lying scenario he changed his mind about continuing to protect his chief-of-staff, whereas in the other scenario he changed his mind about what he believed to be the truth.|||Lying: You don%26#039;t tell the truth.
Changing your mind: You tell the truth, but your ideas and views change later on.
