Bullies and Thieves

A school bully who uploaded a three-minute video in the Internet became very scared when the video went viral. The clip which shows her friends hitting a classmate with books on the head, strangling her with a tie and violently pulling and cutting off her hair in SMK Raja Abdullah in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur had caused a public uproar. Bullies as well as thieves can be very IT savvy nowadays. I remember a case about a thief who burgled a house in Miri, Sarawak and took RM11,000 in cash and belongings, including a laptop, mobile phones and jewellery. The thief had then took photos of his loot and posted them on Facebook but instead of attracting buyers, he had ended up attracting the police who after receiving a tip-off had booked him. That reminds me of the Dhamma talk that I heard in a CD. A man may be knowledgeble but not wise. A man who is wise will definitely be knowledgeble. I wonder if Buddha has taught that.
