<p>I am sure that many people cheat their way through life. However, you should realize that the person who chooses to cheat becomes a different person than one who chooses not to.
The difference may be subtle but over time, without a course correction, you may find yourself in a place you regret. The consequence for choosing to cheat can be losing the ability to see that it is wrong. Of course, if you believe in a higher power, then the conversation about avoiding consequences becomes quite silly.</p>
