So people cheat you?

So you were cheated on? Congratulations, we all get cheated. Whether we want to admit it or not, cheating is an inescapable part of the human condition. Some of us are more comfortable than others acknowledging this fact, but it’s still a fact, plain and simple.

There’s no shortage of people who like to claim that they lead lives above reproach. You know the type: the holier-than-thou, Jesus’ assistants, the seemingly honest. They are usually quick to tell others when they’re straying off the path, but are certainly not likely to identify themselves as cheaters. But they are. We all are. Everyone is guilty of telling little white lies or devising secret ways to get ahead when the right moment arises.

It doesn’t matter if you’re fibbing a little so that your wall-eyed colleague doesn’t feel bad (“No, really, no one can tell”), or if you stole a recipe to win the county bake-off just once. Even if you’re usually on the up-and-up, those little lapses land you squarely in cheater country. Despite our best efforts, we’re all cheaters in our own ways! Nothing to be proud of.
