Lying is defined as an act of telling, showing, or prosing false information about something or someone. Lying is an unethical practice. A liar is a person who lies. Lying could have consequences for the liar that he may or may not perceive in the beginning. These consequences could be losing trust or faith and losing people or relations.

Cheating is defined as the process of using false information to take advantage of someone. Cheating could also be defined as putting someone in the dark and doing something he or she does not like. Cheating could lead to legal consequences, sometimes, as cheating is a crime. Cheating could be personal or professional.  

A person's word is defined as the statement or promise made by someone to fulfill something or not to do something. A person's word is taken in the literal sense and is believed. It is an oral phenomenon instead of written. If someone does not stick by his word, he loses the trust and maybe relationship in some cases.

Stealing is defined as the process of illegally or unethically moving someone's stuff without his or her consent. Stealing could be stealing from the shop or stealing someone's money without them knowing it. Stealing could have dire consequences such as lending to jail or being imposed with fines.
