The Morality of Dishonesty

The morality of dishonesty.

Robbers entered a bank in a small town.
One of them shouted: "Don't move! The money belongs to the bank. Your lives belong to you.”
Immediately all the people in the bank laid on the floor quietly and without panic.
This is an example of how the correct wording of a sentence can make everyone change their view of the world.


One woman laid on the floor in a provocative manner.
The robber approached her saying, " Ma'am, this is a robbery not a rape. Please behave accordingly."
This is an example of how to behave professionally, and focus on the goal.


While running from the bank the youngest robber (who had a college
degree) said to the oldest robber (who had barely finished elementary
school): "Hey, maybe we should count how much we stole." ?
The older man replied: "Don’t be stupid. It's a lot of money so let's
wait for the news on TV to find out how much money was taken from the
bank."
This is an example of how life experience is more important than a
degree.


After the robbery, the manager of the bank said to his accountant:
"Let's call the cops and tell them how much has been stolen."
"Wait”, said the Accountant, "before we do that, let's add the £800,000
we took for ourselves a few months ago and just say that it was stolen
as part of today’s robbery."
This is an example of taking advantage of an opportunity.


The following day it was reported in the news that the bank was robbed
of £3 million.
The robbers then counted the money, but they found only £1 million so
they started to grumble.
"We risked our lives for £1 million, while the bank's management robbed
two million dollars without blinking? Maybe its better to learn how to
work the system, instead of being a simple robber."
This is an example of how knowledge can be more useful than power.

And they are exceedingly wise words.

And so true.
