It’s easier to be honest
My wife has been watching the Bernie Madoff doc on Netflix. The bit that stood out to me was his confession. It became too much to keep up the scam.
I can only imagine the level of stress and anxiety that comes from being a fraud.
It reminds me of that saying, “If you tell the truth, you only have to remember one story.”
It’s just so much easier to be an honest person. (And much more peaceful.)
