Is there a philosophical difference between?

Question

cheating and lying or are they one in the same? Why or why not?

Answer 1

cheating leads to lying. If you cheat..and then sumone asks you did u, it will be your own ego to instantly lie and say "NO"

Cheating is doing sumthing wrong...lying is doing sumthing wrong and then denying it.

Answer 2

No. there is a moral difference.

Answer 3

One usually cheats to put ones self into a better situation, while one usually lies to remove ones self from a bad situation. They are not one and the same, but you can not have one without the other. Cheating, although not moral, is a proactive means of escape, while lying is a reactive one.
