The cognitive dissonance made me feel like a child!
Do you have any comments?

Then in the past you had more favorable impressions of people, but as
you age they seem more dishonest?

When I was young, ignorant, and naive, I experienced people as
infinite magical manifestations, just as they did themselves;
today, I understand the finite physical structures that still practice
personification magic stories on themselves and others. I understand
the farce and its basis in evolution.

Cheating is defined as an act of lying, deception, fraud, trickery,
imposture, or imposition. Cheating characteristically is employed to
create an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often
at the expense of others.[1] Cheating implies the breaking of rules.
The term "cheating" is less applicable to the breaking of laws, as
illegal activities are referred to by specific legal terminology such
as fraud or corruption.

Today, I explicitly cheat in everything by choice, even games.
Yesterday, I did so because that was the accepted but hidden way, except
in games it was not accepted.
