I Am Teaching Myself How NOT To Be A Liar

________________________________________________________________________________________________

If I were to say
either...

A) I will quit smoking 

next week.

B) I will quit smoking

as a New Year's resolution.

C) I will quit smoking.

Then...

If what I say is choice A ...
and I do not quit smoking next week,
then I am a liar.

If what I say is choice B ...
and come next January 1,
I am still smoking,
then I am a liar.
 
However,
if what I say is choice C ...
and I do not quit smoking
within a year,
I am not  a liar
because I did not specify
when I would quit
smoking.
