is it ok to cheat? if you pass the test, get away with it, what is the fundamental problem with break-ing those rules. if you get ahead by lying, get to a place quicker if you take short cuts, make more money by not disclosing your winnings or showing the exact change why do it? is there anything fundamentally wrong with fibbing about brushing your teeth, not disclosing a flirtatious episode or lying to your friend when he asked if everything is going well? 
the truth will set you free. in certain instances i prefer to stay ignorant of the truth. i do not want to know about the honest processes that are not pleasant that brought the side of bacon for my breakfast. I dont want to know what my friends or colleagues might actually think of me and i wish to not know if the oceans are rising. i prefer the days of knowing less, for the truth is a relative idea that will shift depending on the way you are looking at it.
the quickest point between two places is a straight line. if you want to get more then others, you have to be quicker, smarter or simply trickier. it is nothing that i am justifying, but in the world we live in do we ever stop to question how people had made it to where they are. when our country is built on the backbone of taking it from another group of people and i watch the greedy gain more and more power and money i wonder what is stopping the rest of the world.
