We are generally taught to respect the elders whom we meet all our lives starting from our parents to the elderly in the family and anybody else that falls in that category. Respect is a word that we also associate with very important characters in our society...those who are our teachers, professors and mentors as they are the ones who guide us in life.
Today I came across a not so impressive story. In Gulberg Lahore, a girl lost her credit card in the school where she taught. Her father, however, said that the bank notified extremely irregular activity.
Interesting thing was that her credit card was found by another teacher at the same school and what an amazing example did she set for the rest of the world. That woman went on to have a good time. Apparently, she went on a shopping spree that lasted for about 7 hours in which she spent about Rs. 100,000 on that credit card. She bought a laptop also on the credit card. By 9 pm, the card started declining transactions. As per a CCTV footage, the woman was also found a recorded tape using the stolen credit card. And of course, she has been caught after such reckless behavior.
I don't know what do such people think when they go out on such cheap ventures and do they ever think of what would others who know them would think of. In this saddening case, the students will have a good laugh at their instructor who turned out to be a stupid thief and rightly so because such people hardly deserve the respect. Such people make a mockery of respect itself.
