“Deceit is a common habit, practice, and even a way of life for many people. When the word ‘deceit’ is used, it is oftentimes considered a minor form of lying, or a small act that pretends one thing when it is actually a manner of trying to put something over on someone else.
Deceit is a many-faceted form of expressing cunningness, greed, lust, stealing, lying, or even leading someone into a very harmful or critical situation.
Deceit is rarely a one-time act. It usually becomes a habit that eventually becomes so natural to the individual that it is automatic in their dealings with other people.
Deceit is difficult for some people to accept they are chronic users of, because it seems to them a justifiable source or recourse to their thinking, interaction with other people, or fulfills their innate curiosity, using deceit to satisfy this curiosity.
Deceit wears many disguises. Deceit is a practice of untruths, and deceit has an impure motive and an impure characteristic that in its full essence, is based on a lack of sound values and sound standards.”
