You Need To Keep Integrity To Be Happy
Your values are more important than anything else
In a world where bypassing things has gotten easier thanks to the internet, our values are more important than ever.
No matter what we do, there is almost always a way to cheat the system.
For sports, you can use illicit drugs. For tests, you can cheat in multiple ways. For speaking a language, you can use a dictionary. For writing, you could take someone else’s work and rewrite it in a similar way.
The list could go on and on forever because there are simply so many ways to go around a problematic situation.
However, even if the immediate result may be positive (such as winning a race or passing an exam), the long term results will always backfire.
Staying true to your values is where you can truly gain positive results.
Your opinion of yourself
This probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when talking about the importance of cheating but I believe this is actually the most important one.
Even if you may have passed your test thanks to cheating, you will remember it and it will impact how you act in the future.
