Simplified Meaning:
When people tell lies, it's not only a bad thing by itself, but it also has a harmful effect on the person who lies. Imagine you lie to your friend to get out of trouble. That lie can make you feel bad inside and make it easier to lie again next time. Over time, lying becomes a habit, and you might begin to hurt others and yourself even more. Just like how one rotten apple can ruin the whole bunch, one lie can lead to more lies and create a bigger problem. To avoid this, it's best to always be honest. This way, you keep yourself trustworthy and happy inside.
