There's only a few choices to pick:
1) Have no fish.
2) Earn an honest half a fish.
3) Earn an dishonest whole fish.
4) Steal a full or half fish.
5) Expect others to give you a free whole or half fish.
I've picked #2 in life. What about you?
wrong there are always more choices, only yourself limit it.
6) Bring some kinetic tools to tell the ones wanting to steal the others half of your fish whom it belongs to, and what are the costs associated with an attempted theft...
and this lie in your 2) and 3) about dishonest and honest is just lazy... I expected more from you.
