winning & loosing a game has nothing to do with lying or telling the truth.
As far as good & bad goes....they you are assuming that the person who steals or tells the lie has absolutely NO conscience that will end away at them & hurt them worse in the end than if they hadn't lied or stolen in the first place.
For me.....I would be honest about my situation if I was desperate in need of money, food or whatever......I have always found that when I ask, God provides through wonderful caring people (who sometimes I haven't even known before then).

This is definitely true.....but the experience I had was that I didn't have time to verify the information & many times I had no idea where the paperwork had even been filed which held the verifiable truth.....one example had to do with back when cell phones were just starting to have free minutes after 9pm at night. My H & I got our phones at some point when I was dealing with some really stressful things....& he was basically the one that listened & did all the agreement to the contract......then a few years later (after the contract was actually up but we were still under that payment plan......my mother was dying of cancer & I was continually on the phone with her every day......I asked him if that 9pm applied to our phone agreement....& he assured me that YES it did.......that was his opinion because when I got the $600 phone bill, facts definitely told me that his opinion had nothing to do with the fact or the truth......there were many other situations just like this & I needed to be able to trust my H to provide me ths truthful information so that I could act accordingly.
I finally left him because it was becoming a continuous situation that had existed throughout the 33 years.......& I knew that the only way that I would STOP feeling the need to trust him was to leave & have everything under my own control & not depend on him for anything because at that point I never knew what I could believe or not.....so it was best to just NOT & get out of there & take care of myself so I knew what the REAL truth was or at least I would know where I filed the paperwork to go look if I wasn't sure.
