During a robbery in Zimbabwe, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't
move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you."

Everyone in the bank lay down quietly. This is called "Mind Changing Concept” Changing
the conventional way of thinking.

When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: "Please be civilized!
This is a robbery and not a rape!"

This is called "Being Professional” Focus only on what you are trained to do!
:
When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older
robber "Big brother, let's count how much we got."

The older robber said: "You are foolish.

There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. The TV news will tell us how
much we robbed from the bank tonight!"

This is called "Experience.” Nowadays, experience is more important than paper

qualifications!

After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police
quickly. But the supervisor said to him: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for
ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”.

This is called "Swim with the tide.” Converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!

The supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month."

This is called "Killing Boredom.” Personal Happiness is more important than your job.

The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank.

The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million. The
robbers were very angry and complained: "We risked our lives and only took $20 million.
The bank manager took $80 million. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a
thief!"

This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!"

The bank manager and the supervisor were all smiling and happy after all!!

This story serves as a reminder that innovation, professionalism, experience, and

knowledge are valuable assets in navigating life's challenges and opportunities. Let's
continue to strive for success in ways that benefit us all and uphold our ethical values.

I found this story quite thought-provoking, albeit with a touch of dark humor. A
personal disclaimer: I do not endorse or promote these actions.

What are the most compelling arguments for and against the idea that humans
possess genuine freedom of choice, considering factors such as determinism,
societal influences, and the human experience?
All other considerations aside, every iindividual can introspect and discover that he/she has
the basic choice to think or not to think. Anyone who chooses to think can think about what
is best for his own interests and life. What can he/she do to advance his authentic Read

Fellow A-theists: Would any sort of "god" or "afterlife" appeal to you? Would you
be happy if you learned that there actually is a benevolent "god" (not from any
religion) and an eternal afterlife? Or would you be disappointed?
That is what I call a “what if” question which can be asked about anything. Show me the
proof.
