Another thing, good vs bad, if you find a twenty dollar bill on the floor of the grocery store, it is good for you and bad for someone else. If you give that twenty dollar bill to a store employee so they can find the owner, it is good for that employee and usually they will just put it in their pocket and not even look for the owner who dropped it. If you have the manager state they found a twenty dollar bill in the store, it could start a riot as customers flock to get it. So, just keep it and keep your eyes open, ask someone looking for something what they are looking for and if they said they lost their money...then give it to them.
If it's just 20 dollar, with no way to identify the owner, then I'd probably keep it. Maybe I'd even leave it there, since I don't need it. Probably not, unless it's about winning an argument, then definitely lol.
But yeah, honesty seems to be the 'best' choice in most events, at least as far as I've experienced myself. I simply can't just be bothered to lie anymore, it's a waste of energy, thoughts and time. We tend to assume the worst of people, and their reactions, while most often honesty brings up forgiveness, trust and comfort.
Well look at me, writing about 'trust' lol. I can't even trust my own perception! Go figure...

Usually to boost sales. I just saw an article today on the healthiest food at fast food places, no ultraprocessed food is actually good for you though, ultraprocessed foods hit the tastebuds and have chemistry that makes us feel good but in the long term it is not good for us if we consume it too often. Truth is a perception to most people, they will accept something as truth if it matches their desires or benefits them.

Nowadays, science is marketed. The latest research is 'publicized' in tabloids with sensationalized verbatim. Most of the time, it's for clicks, hence why the word 'health' or its lexical is often used in the title. It goes strait at what people holds dear.
As far as the apple tree is concerned, there's probably not much difference between a worm and a human...
Et le ver en dit : - Il y a toujours un pépin dans la pomme...
