I wonder how many people believes it or not, but I have found this very funny that most of us who prefers being honest , live their life like a loser, and those who lie, cheat , steal, come as winner. Its not that as if i dont belive in honesty. But all my life I have discovered that being honest I havnt achieved anything , yet whenever I did cheat ocassionaly it proved profitable. It gives me pain to see , people who are genuinely honest , are just like nobody. and while whole lots of guys who cheat , are getting all the rewards Tell me what is ur opinion

It is common to see like that.But you have to choose whether you are going to be a honest person or a cheater.You can take with which you are comfortable.If you can cheat and remain without guilt,then go ahead.If not,just remain honest and be confident,good things will happen to you too.Cheers!

It is about how I have felt all my life and to my utmost disappointment, honest people are regarded as losers, while cheaters enjoyed luxuries of life taht all i can say

It really pays to be honest. One should try to be fair and honest especially in dealings with people. "The end does not justify the means" is a popular saying and I believe in it. Others who cheat may become a winner but they will be losing at the end. Our acts are accountable to somebody up there.

i think the benefits of the liars,are just an outer happines... theres nothing more worthy to live each day and sleep each night with your conscience clean... as for me...im not saying that i didnt lie or cheat...ofcourse i did it several times at first it so funny to get pass each day nobody notice or laugh at you when you keep a secret or you did something bad...but then few days after my conscience keeps me awake when i know i cheated on somebody and that person is suffering. actually i dont know how those people sleep tight at nyt knowing they keep on cheating everyday. so i dont think we can call it 'winners' or 'rewarding' to keep on cheateing...how can you be happy when a part of your conscience is hurting...
