I was out with a group of politicians in a bar one night when one of them started talking about how dirty politics is. He admitted he was constantly cheating on his wife. He said his opponent found out and threatened to use it against him. To handle this, he confessed all his infidelities to his wife.
Then he bragged about how many times he cheated and with whom. He said, “Everybody cheats.”
I looked at him and said I have never cheated on a girlfriend or my wife. He looked at me in disbelief, so I confirmed my point again. Then he asked how I managed that.
I asked him a series of questions:
Did you want your mother to cheat on your father?
Did you want your father to cheat on your mother?
Do you want your wife to cheat on you?
Do you want your daughter to cheat on her husband once married?
Do you want your daughter’s husband to cheat on her?
Do you want your son to cheat on his wife?
Do you want your son’s wife to cheat on him?
He answered “No” to all.
I told him, “It’s easy not to cheat. Just don’t do what you don’t want others to do.”
I also told him women love cheaters and married men because they are easy to blackmail afterward.
