DAY after day as I watch the news, more and more cheating in various forms: from the football scandal to Members of Parliament cheating; Russian doping to payments to conceal doping; shops keeping tips meant for waiters; so it goes on.

Is there any answer to all this? Well, education, perhaps religious belief, but then again, it is said some Middle Eastern young men have been told if they suicide bomb they will be in paradise surrounded by 30 maidens.

What is the answer to this? I can only say keep our own hands clean and trust God will forgive any minor wrongdoing.
