Shafting is a term used to describe the act of deceiving or cheating someone, typically in a sneaky or underhanded manner and can involve manipulating situations to one's advantage, taking credit for others' work, or withholding important information. This kind of behavior can have serious consequences and damage relationships and trust. It's important to be honest and transparent in all dealings to avoid being accused others. Remember, what goes around comes around - so treat others with respect and integrity to build strong connections built on trust and honesty. Don't get caught up in the cycle - it's always better to do the right thing even if it may be more difficult in the short term. Let your actions speak louder than words and strive to be a person who is known for their integrity rather than their deceitful tactics.
