Cheating is a character flaw and I wish people weren’t so forgiving about it. It shows a willingness to deceive, to prioritize short-term desire over integrity, and to disregard the trust someone else has placed in them.
Disgusting.

In times of profound crisis, people don't remember your words, they only remember whether you showed up for them at their lowest moment.
