On my way back to China, I was watching the movie, starring Andy Lau, "A World Without Thieves" Although it is just a movie, the story is real and this is the real world we are living in, a world where people cheat to survive.
I have encountered professional con-artists.
I have seen how organized syndicate planned and operated to cheat MNCs (Multi-National Corporations) of millions of dollars at the snap of their fingers.
These professional artists are above the law because they know the laws better than the law makers themselves.
I have also witnessed petty thieves just like in the movie.
They can climb a two-story flat wall without tools.
They can open locks with commonly used items in our household.
I have also witness professional gamblers that make their living in the casino.
These people are trained since young and can swoop mahjong tiles and pokers cards right in front of your naked eyes.
This is the world I know.
I always tell people you do not have to lock your doors very securely to protect your belongings.
Just lock good enough will do because when you meet a pro, the most advance system you implemented will render useless.
The day I am exposed to the world of thieves, I lost confident in our society.
This world is no longer safe.
Everybody works for their own interests.
I began to realize how corrupted we are.
The so-called code of honor, brotherhood, loyalty, etc are nothing but bullshit.
We use words like righteousness, upright, integrity, etc to cover up our hidden agenda.
In reality, we are living in a world of morally corrupted society.
How nice will it be to be the naive young man that Andy Lau trying to protect and see the world as a good and peaceful place to dwell in.
Blessed are those that see the world without thieves.
