If a person uses deception to gain something, is it really a win?
What it says to me is that they have no confidence in achieving it by being real.
This win would be hollow at best.

Deception sometimes is a situational and circumstantial method for survival. Sometimes there isn't money or resources to gain what one wants. Morals and ethics a lot of times will be sacrificed for survival. In the movie Alive 1993 based on a true story a South American rugby team plane crashes in the Andes and some resort to cannibalism to survive. The ones who held on to morals and values and didn't eat human flesh died. So a persons methods for achieving is usually a circumstantial endeavor. People with money are able to achieve things ethically and morally easier than poor people.

This is something close to what I’ve said before. What I had said was that some people have the privilege of obtaining a high level of morality. @HatandCloak

@Spoiledbrat very much so. People with privilege begin life already ahead of the game with the best start up kits and safety nets.

@HatandCloak That's all well and good but I don't buy it fully. I currently work in a place where I come across true poverty. Not what the western world calls poverty. And you know, most of these people wake up daily, with a smile on their face and without bitterness and get on with it. Without the entitlement having what doesn't belong to them by any deceptive means.
Sure, a rich person has what they have, but does that make it okay to snatch? Do you know what they went through to get where they are or did the poor group just assume it comes easily to them?

@Spoiledbrat Sorry, but to deceive someone into loving you doesn't work long term. And it shouldn't. You steal someones innocence and trust by doing something so shady.

@SW-User Imorral unethical or deceptive is not always illegal, socially abrasive yes, but not illegal. I can walk off a job anytime I wish for a better job, with out giving a notice, I won't go to jail for that.

@HatandCloak And that's not deception either, just thoughtless. World is full of thoughtless people, and deceptive people too... its a shame people do not hold themselves to a higher set of standards.

Do you mean avoiding revenge that’s hurtful and that will ruin someone’s life? Like that kind deception? @SW-User
