Question from a Reader:
Is there a chance that sincerely reflecting on one’s actions and apologizing could backfire? For instance, while Fuwachan faced backlash from the media after her apology, other figures like Inada from Einstein, Mei Nagano, and Kei Tanaka continue their careers despite sticking to their lies. Although it’s said that lies will eventually be exposed, could it be
more strategic to maintain a lie if there’s no evidence against it?
Apology vs. Lies: Which is the Better Strategy?
When chatting with friends, the topic often comes up: “Should you apologize or stick to a lie?” Recently, I thought about how Fuwachan’s apology impacted her media presence. It takes courage to be honest, and sometimes it can lead to negative consequences.
Fuwachan and Other Celebrities
Listening to discussions about Fuwachan, it seems she may not have as much support as others. Conversely, those with a strong backing might have a better chance of continuing their activities after an apology. There are figures like Inada from Einstein, Mei Nagano, and Kei Tanaka, who appear unaffected by their lies, which can feel quite unfair at times. However, I believe that lies eventually catch up with you. During conversations with friends, they expressed their fears about the potential fallout when lies are uncovered. The risk of damaging relationships or losing oneself through dishonesty is significant.
Lessons from Shohei Ohtani’s Experience
I also recall the story of Shohei Ohtani and his commitment to picking up trash. From a young age, he has acted in accordance with his beliefs. Even small actions, when done with honesty, can have a lasting impact on one’s life. Ultimately, valuing one’s principles over trivial lies leads to a happier life. Recently, I joined friends in picking up trash. Initially, I questioned why we were doing it, but gradually it became enjoyable, and by the end, we were excitedly discussing doing it again. It was a moment that truly highlighted the importance of living honestly, even in small ways.
