Is it not weird how someone can spend days,weeks, months, years, or even decades building a reputation as being honest and trust worthy someone one can count on, and in one small move it can all crumple into dust?
I have a friend that I once trusted with every secret in my life. She knew things about me that my own family did not know. Then one night in a moment of weakness on her part she told me 3 little lies that shattered that trust into pieces. Even after I forgave her, I NEVER trusted her the same again. I know it hurt her to lose the total trust I once gave her, but once trust is broken, it will never be as strong as it was before it was broken. With much work the person who betrayed your trust may earn some of it back, but it will never again be as strong as it once was.
We are all human, and humans make mistakes. Making a mistake is easy. Repairing the damage caused by a mistake is not so easily done. We should always think about what we are about to do. We should balance the gains against the losses, and see if it is worth it to do something out of character, if we damage trust it may be lost forever.

Worry about your character, not your reputation. Your character is who you are, your reputation is who people think you are.
