Shows that good people make momentary BAD decisions that can come back to haunt them for the rest of their lives. Tell the truth from the start, be honest in EVERY thing you do and you don’t have to remember the “story” to keep it straight or make up fantasies to explain your actions. (Hmmmm, gotta remember that next time …)
Mike learned one lesson already. Now, he’s about to learn another lesson, which is that reversing a wrong also has consequences. Like trying to un-tell a lie, or erase the effect of gossipping.
Good for you Michael. I hope it turns out well for you.Lawrence- learn something here. “Getting away” with something doesn’t make it okay. It’s still wrong.
@exturk:Nowadays with the terrorist doing stuff by mail you need the return address or else it goes into the dead letter area. You still have to take it to the post office to get it weighed.

A friend of mine said that she wasn’t charged $16.95 for one item. She went back and paid. She said there are no levels of honesty, just honesty.

Take it back, fess up and take the consequences. It’s cowardly to do anything less.

God gave us all a conscience. Michael is learning from it. Without a conscience, we’d be sociopaths.
