Money earned by illegal means never lasts

Hi, You are right. Money earned by illegal means never lasts. Some people are very greedy for money. they are not satisfied with the money earned by honest ways. They try to make more and more money by doing evil deeds. they are ready to do anything for earning money easily. But God is always with them who earn on honest work and the people who are cheaters are always punished by him. These people never have mental satisfaction or peace.

I had seen many of these people especially those thieves holding high office in government's institutions who cheated money in many different way and plunder the nation's wealth in multiple ways don't really care about whether their ill gotten riches can last long or not, all they want are be able to continue stealing and plundering from the ordinary people and their land, natural resources, and economy using their political power to become filthy rich and wealthy, they not just have many houses inside their country, but many more other mansions, vacation houses all over the world, and plenty of $$$$ in the Swiss bank and Cayman Island bank to stockpile their cash without anyone knowledge. All they care about is able to live their life to the full luxury and like a King every day, they don't take into consideration those riches will last forever or not , it will be the last factor that will sway their decision to steal and plunder from the people and nation, many of them believe they can pass them down to their children and spouses once they are gone like the case Marcos, Mubarak, Ben Ali, Musharaf, Mugabee, etc...

Hard earned money would not leave us because God will always be with us; it is better to earn by doing one's duty and not exploiting others. Only this money will last.

I absolutely agree with you. And I have been taught that way too by my parents. I sometimes used to think that the ones who are dishonest seem to have everything and people who are honest suffer a lot. But I have begun to understand that honesty always pays and dishonesty will definitely hurt either the very person or his or her family.

Easy come, easy go. That is how I describe how an illegally acquired wealth can happen. Coz people who tend to get their money through illegal means, do not worry of getting poor coz they know that if they continue doing illegal activities, they will always have money in their pockets. The real value of money, they will never learn.

Hallo Professor2010, I have thought about this before and came to this conclusion after trying things out and observing myself and other people. All of this depends on the thoughts people have. The people you describe here had the believe that they could only make money by cheating. They did not believe that they were able to make honest money. When they finally had the money, they had thoughts which were unhappy and full of guilt, which then had an effect on their environment. People need to control their thoughts.- If someone gets up in the morning and is thankful and then if he finds something he does not like ( for example that it would be good if he had more money ) decides to change this by changing his thoughts about the point and producing energy which is uplifting not pulling him down. Money will come to him. A situation will present itself to him where he is able to get the money he wants. - I am sure that people get what they think about the most, what they believe deep down even if they are not aware of it.

I believe there's a saying that says - "What goes round, comes around." There are consequences to our decisions and deeds, it may not catch up with each one of us immediately. However, be assured that it will, may not be on us or in this lifetime but on our next generations.

God knows who are those persons who get their wealth through illegal means. They may be be happy now, but all of a sudden, God will remind them in one way or another that their money isn't theirs to keep all their lives. Some children of the rich would sometimes quarrel over who will inherit the most of the share.

All that is earned in the wrong manner bring trouble in the future for the culprit,they may evade Law but can't evade the Almighty's verdict.

Hi Prof ! Very true , money that comes from air will vanish by just one blow of the air. A hard earned money is the most meaningful and satisfying money to have . We would try to save it as much as we can because sweat poured so much in having those money. It is never easy to earn in good way. It takes effort and sweat.
