The Problem With Cheaters
The problem with cheaters is that they desire to be successful, but with little effort on their part or, even, with no effort on their part.
Therefore, the problem with cheaters is that they desire to achieve success—with their endeavors in life—but without having to assume risk, without having to be hard working and honest, and without having to learn from their mistakes in order to do better in the future.
In other words, achieving success is attained by the process of assuming risk, by the process of being hard working and honest, and by the process of learning from mistakes in order to do better in the future, which cannot be accomplished by cheating.

My Philosophical Notes:
The reason that I wrote this prose can be summed up with the following statement: "The problem with cheaters is that they desire to be successful, but with little effort on their part or, even, with no effort on their part. Therefore, the problem with cheaters is that they desire to achieve success, with their endeavors in life, but without having to assume risk, without having to be hard working and honest, and without having to learn from their mistakes in order to do better in the future."
And this prose was also published on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog (please see the hyperlink below for the blog), since I feel that the message in this prose applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."
This prose was written in Portland, Oregon.
