Common Misconceptions: Cheaters never prosper
operation brain unfreeze, stuff, thought experiments Add comments
I would like to think that people who cheat never win but it’s usually only when they get caught that we find out what they have been up to. Cheating is indeed a what of life for some people. When you are honest it pays fairly at least for a while… until you are exposed to corruption. Would you take a bribe? I would love to think that people who cut corners, take money, rip off people and stab people in the back would pay for it. But ultimately it’s unfair to say that cheaters never prosper… they often do and wind up owning large corporations. Those of us who have a sense of fair play don’t always wind up where we should. Sometimes we wind up dead or in jail! Life is pretty far from fair. A sense of fairness and justice it’s a good thing but it’s a misconception to say that cheaters NEVER prosper. They often do… with devastating results.

In a perfect world, I would agree with you that cheaters never prosper. But as what you have mentioned, yes, there are cheaters out there who are cheating people like scammers and phishers. However, I think that at the end of the day, it still depends on the individual. Its like asking would you kill to make yourself rich ? Life’s decisions are never separated by a line .. most of the time its grey.
