HELPP PLEASEEE

what does this quote mean “Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.”

Answer:Im not sure if this is entirely correct, but what I think it means is, When someone says a white lie, they know that it is completely untrue, they are a liar. What the quote is saying is that even if it isn't COMPLETELY a lie it can still be manipulating. If someone is being manipulating, they are called a "Craftsman of Destruction"

Step-by-step explanation:

Craftsmen of destruction, I think means someone who is doing a lot of damage to an already bad situation (Adding fuel to the fire in a situation).
