smart people do smart things

The robber is very smart, knows everything, and unfolds this extraordinary robbery calmly. His thoughtfulness is astounding, and at the same time, he adds a little bit of human warmth, such as what he said to the little black boy, such as to the police detective. That diamond, wait. I don’t think there is any righteous thing to say. In fact, the reason is very simple: things that don’t belong to you will naturally be taken away by others. When smart people get these things, who will they end up in the hands of? None of us know. What we know is this: no one can have permanent use of a thing, because people are mortal. So reasoning, which thing is in whose hands, can actually be taken or robbed, but it will be lost in the end. As long as once owned and only once owned, it will not last forever. Do we own matter, or does matter possess us? This is a problem.
