It's often said that the consequence of greed is having nothing left. In life, one must avoid being greedy. I just read a report about a couple in Malaysia who lost 25,000 Malaysian Ringgit due to their greed.
According to the report, the couple, aged 58, was approached by three strangers in front of a bank in the city a few days ago. One of the Indonesian men claimed to have won 600,000 Malaysian Ringgit in a lottery but couldn't collect the prize since he wasn't a Malaysian citizen. He hoped that the couple could help him. He promised to give them half of the prize money, which is 300,000 Malaysian Ringgit, as a reward. If it were me, I would have definitely refused, but why did this couple agree? It's likely because they saw the opportunity to get 300,000 Malaysian Ringgit without much effort, and their greed led them into a trap.
Afterward, the three individuals asked the couple to help them pay 25,000 Ringgit at a lottery retailer so that they wouldn't need to pay taxes on the winnings. Persuaded by the three men, the couple got into their car and headed to a bank in the city garden commercial center to withdraw the money. After withdrawing 25,000 Ringgit, the couple was taken to another bank in the city by the three men. Upon arriving at the bank, the three men intentionally let the couple get out of the car first, then snatched the wife's handbag and quickly drove away. In desperation, the couple went step by step to the police station to report the incident and seek help. Anyone with common sense knows that money doesn't fall from the sky, and the only things that fall are traps.
Indeed, sometimes good things do come unexpectedly, but the chances of that happening are extremely slim, about as likely as being struck by lightning. Things in life are earned through hard work, and expecting to gain without giving is nothing but wishful thinking. |
