The real problem is that, those who seem proud of that kind of behaviour don't realize that others can achieve a good life with honesty & ability! That tells me that they may be good at cheating and lying & even make a good living, but the only people who will respect them are other cheats and liars.
Are they really such fools that they believe promises from other cheats and liars?

Realising that it is acceptable means that you trust no-one, just some more than others but NEVER 100%.

Re: How Did Cheating Become Acceptable?
Looking at the synopsis of your life I'm wondering how you think you have cheated ? we might have a different definition of what is considered a cheat for instance blagging it to get the right job...could just be considered an exaggeration.....maybe you could give an example ?

Nothing wrong in that.
Well, you might as well go the whole hog, if cheating floats your boat so much!

I am proud that my employers admired my ability & I have always been able to provide for myself...even when I was married.
How proud would you have been, if you had lied at your interview, and your employers had found out & sacked you?
