My little daughter (2.5 yrs) had a habit of eating raw dough. Whenever we make Chapatis (Indian bread) she just sits with us there and starts eating kneaded balls. Me and my wife sometimes become little worried as we feel it is not good for her, as eating unbaked dough may perhaps cause stomachache. We are not very sure though :).
So we told her that if she would eat the dough, she will have stomachache.
Now I wonder that if one fine day in future, she would explore it by herself (or maybe somebody will tell her) that eating dough doesn't cause stomachache at all. What would be her reaction? Will it be right for her to label us as cheaters?
Let's take one more example.
Suppose A and B are friends. A lends 1000$ to B and B promises to return him the money after 30 days.
After 30 days B asks A to reach a particular place and heads himself towards the same.
There he gets stuck in traffic jam and his mobile battery dries up.
What should A think after waiting for 1 hr. A may think that B cheated him, but is it the reality? Later when A would know the reality he would realize that it was not cheating at all.
Can we judge the cheating by understanding only half part of the story?
What exactly is the definition of cheating. Do actions only establish cheating or one should also take into account the intentions as well?
Thoughts?
I'd request everyone to focus on the topic and not throw the facts until required to prove some logic.
