minus-squareLastYearsPumpkin@feddit.chlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up27arrow-down6·2 年前The intent of the proverb isn’t that bad people don’t get good things, it’s that a person who is cheating doesn’t get value out of the activity. If you go through life cutting corners, you don’t actually get to learn and build a strong foundation. You can still be rewarded with jobs, money, and sycophants, but that’s not what really matters.
