Often wondered in a country with supposed spiritual and Buddhist principles why is there so much corruption and deceit. 
My neighbor, for example, is known to steal money from her company to the tune of buying a 10m house next door cash. She was removed from the company. Yet she often is seen wearing the white robe, shaves hair, visits temples, makes merit with monks visiting house for ceremony etc. 

My take is that as long as they counter their bad deeds with some perceived good deeds, then it’s all good. Trust Thais to find loopholes.

Often wondered why Catholic priests rape kids in first world Christian countries. And get away with it. 
And celebrities, Jimmy Seville etc. 

 

Religion is based on lies, some of which are absurd, but there is social pressure to respect them (monks, priests, imams) for their beliefs.

Conmen and women often hide behind them.

 

i hope that clears that up for you.

 

 

 

Just like religions and political ideologies......all look fine on paper.......then human beings come along.

This is going to derail fast, and not in a good way.
