TRUTH IS COMPLETE AND NON CONTRADICTORY
Truth has this property of being consistent and non contradictory. I assume this is the distinctive property of truth — being holistic and complete and non-contradictory. Lie can contradict not only with truth but with another lie. For example, lets consider the statement A:
2+2=4 (This is true statement) If one makes statement B:
2+2=5.
B is obvious lie, it contradicts not only A but also another similar lie (like statement C):
2+2=6
