Do we need to cheat too?

I've taught my kids to be honest and make an effort.
Therefore, our children are often used or used as springboards by people who cheat.

Is it better to teach my child who is now a high school student how to cheat a little bit?
I'm also happy to see them making an effort foolishly and honestly, and I'm also sad to see their efforts unrewarded and outsmarted by cheaters.

Do you want people to be people who think you're a cheater

I don't know what slurping indicates, but doing things that cause trouble to people isn't good, is it? You don't want them to become people who can't understand the feelings of those who have been used as springboards.
However, having fun is not a bad thing, and I feel that the value that there is something beyond suffering is slightly different. It takes effort, and people who can work hard would be wonderful.

You probably won't be taught to cheat.

You can cheat even if you leave it alone, so brakes are necessary

Well, as humans grow, they probably acquire thickness, misunderstanding, and strength.
I'll also learn how bad it is.
That's why I think it's better for parents and religious people to keep preaching “beauty.”
In a sense, it's humans who easily become criminals if they don't intend to become a saint monarch even if it's bad.
In today's world, even companies place importance on compliance and compliance with laws and regulations.
Otherwise, we have become a tough society where our feet are swept away.
Buddhism is based on the five commandments of don't kill, don't steal, don't lie, don't have an affair, and don't drink alcohol or narcotics (don't drown).
It is precisely because we cannot protect this normally that protecting becomes an ascetic practice.
If you want to weaken the worry that causes trouble and suffering, training to keep the commandments is useful.
People who cheat have unavoidable suffering (weakness and foolishness).
Buddhism teaches the strength to be able to stay calm even if you don't cheat.
A child who runs away for fear of injections and a cheating adult are in the same group.
Injections are painful, but even so, they are fine children who accept injections normally.

Maybe it's necessary to cheat

I am also very grateful for the answers from the previous two parties, but I would like to dare to answer “cheating may also be necessary.”

There are all kinds of people in the world, and there are cheaters, bad people, and people who are helplessly difficult to get along with. If you become a high school student, your world will expand, and you may naturally learn such things.

This time, both the child and Misora had a difficult experience.
Why don't you have a thorough discussion with your child about why Misora herself asked for an idiot and honest way of life for her?
In response to this incident, isn't it possible for Misora herself to open up and unfold stories such as that she still thinks an honest way of life is correct, or that when she becomes an adult, she will meet even more fraudulent people, and at that time she will deal with it like this?

On top of that, why don't you leave it up to your child to decide what kind of lifestyle they choose?
(Of course, please give it to them each time they have a consultation, etc.)
I felt that a completely honest way of life alone would cause quite a lot of hardships.
It may not have been a Buddhist answer, but that's not bad.

Maybe it's a rephrase

“Cheating,” the so-called “cunning,” is a way of life skill you don't want to have,

“Good to the point” would be helpful in many ways if you had even a little bit of it, so you “want it.”

The former is probably something that affects others, and the latter is probably something that only benefits oneself.

Well, which one would you choose?

Well, even if I lose that kind of thing, I want to be someone who loves and is loved! I think so.
