Cheating time! (laughs)
Just to make it different with my intro this time. It’s Monday again, the most awaited day of the week on read.cash-the weekly writing prompt by Ms. Jonica. Asian people don’t get me wrong because it is now Tuesday here.
Anyway I don’t mean anything unpleasant when I said cheating time, I mean it’s time to write about cheating as this is the writing prompt #6 for this week - Cheating.
Actually, I had just made a post about cheating yesterday, an hour earlier when Ms. Jonica posted the next writing prompt. It was about plagiarism, you can read back here if you want to take a quick look. I think I have made another one also similar to cheating with the title Overkill. It was about a forgotten relationship that involves a foreign guy and a Pinay. I felt the woman was cheated because of some corrupt government officers.
It’s fun to know that a lot of users in this platform are participating in this idea originally came from Ms. Jonica. I can see the number of users joining the fun are increasing weekly and today's writing prompt I think is more exciting. For sure there are a lot who can share their cheating experience, particularly in relationships.
I remember a short post from @leejhen that the read.cash feed is filled with cheaters, Oh I mean stories about cheating. (chuckle)
Anyway, so much for the blah, blah, blah introduction and this is my story/s about cheating. Don’t you worry this is not another grievances story of being cheated on relationships.
So what is cheating? (google it)
Any form of cheating is a sin, be it small or big. I can’t think of anything that cheating has become good. Perhaps lies have something to do good, you know like white lies. Telling people to stop from being upset by knowing the truth.
People cheat for different reasons for different situations.
Opportunity. Sometimes opportunity is one reason for cheating. Like the opportunity that this site brings, some users think that they can trick the robot by copying articles elsewhere on the internet and posting them here.
Revenge. Often this happens in relationships. If they know that their partner is cheating, the will do the same too for a reason that is to be fair.
Habit. Cheating becomes a habit. This kind of habit can be developed at an early age. If people started this habit during his childhood without ever being caught, then he will be very good at it as he grows old.
Inherited. Yes, being a cheater can be passed on to a family member without knowing it. This is when a parent is cheating in front of his kids. We have to understand that kids are very keen on what they see in their parents. If they always see their parents cheating, they will think that it is just normal and nothing wrong with that. Kids will grow up as cheaters because their role models are cheaters.
Learned. You are not really a cheater but for some reasons there was an opportunity that drove you to cheat. This platform again for example. You can see that there is a great chance for you to earn high BCH if you do some cheating. Then you study carefully how to do it and voila. You just did cheat.
Peer pressure. This is common to teenage groups. It is good for kids and teenagers to have their circle of friends. You know to get along with, hang out with and to learn socialization. But sometimes in every group there is always one that has strong influential power. A person who always wants to be different and this might be a cheater. Sometimes these kids have their own initiation rite similar to frats and sorority. In order to become one of them, a newcomer should pass the test like a cheating test.
At any rate, cheating is always bad. You know, like we can not correct a mistake by making another mistake. Like for revenge cheating, both parties lose. No one wins. If your partner cheated on you, then let him go. Break it. It’s either that he was vulnerable or there is a problem with you that's why he cheated.
So if you ask me if cheating is good or bad, of course it is bad. Imagine living in a world full of cheaters. Or just imagine a family of cheaters. Do you think you can get along with them?
When I was a kid I also cheated. Sometimes when mother would give us bread to share with my younger sister, I would cut it in two halves. However the bread was not cut evenly. I will gave the smaller half to my sister then the bigger half to me of course and I will say to her:
“This is for you sis, you are smaller than I right? So, you should receive a smaller size of bread too.”
Thanks for reading. Ciao!

HAHAHAHA. Tawang tawa ako sa tinapay. Kung ako yung kapatid mo batok with matching sabunot at kurot ka sa akin kasi hindi pantay. Tapos kakagatan ko pa yung sayo kasi hindi mo pinantay.
Sa inherited cheating. Feeling ko ano idadahilan na lang siya na namana pero in reality, "kung ano ang nakita sa matanda, siya ang ginagawa ng bata". Pero meron din naman na cases na hindi alam ng anak na cheater/unfaithful ang magulang niya pero ganun din nagiging tadhana nila. Ano naman yun ah "history repeats itself".
