Ill Got: Ill Spent
Bob and John were two friends. Their childhood was spent playing, roaming here and there, going to school and chasing dreams together. However, when they entered the threshold of adolescence, their ways parted. Bob had to go to a distant city with his parents. Bob was inordinately ambitious. He had realized he could not make his dreams come true without being dishonest. The way to riches was not meant for honest people.
So he took to dishonest and ill ways. He started cheating people to earn money quickly. He ignored ethics and morality. The taste and power of money impelled him to get involved in illegal activities. Soon he became a great name in the world. Soon he had everything money could buy: Millions of dollars in bank accounts, hotels, farms, luxury cars, and whatnot.
However, he was on the top of the list of suspects for criminal activities. The police was trying to collect evidence against him. John was the leader of the team of the police task force that had been designated to capture him. John did not the least thought that he was on a mission to capture his childhood buddy. Bob had stopped all type of interaction except a letter or two once or twice a year, and he hid everything almost from his friend.
So one day, the police had enough evidence against him. They raided his home in the middle of the night and arrested him. When John saw him, he immediately recognized him. He did not say a word to him. Bob too had nothing but regret and shame in his heart! He realized his dishonesty had brought him to his utter fall and loss of all sorts. He had lost not only his wealth and possessions, but respect, relations, power, and trust of his near and dear ones. So, dishonesty never pays in the long run. Whatever we earn or amass through ill means, we have to lose it ultimately. So never do anything ill.
