Lying and Stealing are Neighbors — Jag Chima

I do sometimes wonder what must go through the minds of people who lie, steal and make it their lifestyle. What’s their end goal?

A shortcut to make quick money? Then what?

Every heard the quote ‘Easy come, easy go?’ It’s a fact.
When you earn something you value it, protect it and when you see others with the same or better, you understand what it takes to have it. That’s how you grow.

More than anything else, living an honest life will give you a peaceful life.

Make sense?

Let me explain.

If you take the short cut to make a quick buck, you will never understand the real value. It doesn’t last. Then you steal more and it forms a negative lifestyle. Not a place I would wish for anyone to be.

A thief will always be on the lookout in the fear of getting caught. No peace. Eventually, end up with nothing worth having.
There is no loyalty among people who lie and steal. Their circle is full of snakes. No respect.
You are the average of the people you spend time with. Choose good people.

Everyone has the ability, channel it into the right places. The difficult paths are the ones worth taking.

I am very thankful to my parents for showing me the results of walking on an honest path. It’s something that helps me be accountable, make good decisions and stay motivated.
