However, from that moment onward, Gettan's life slowly spiraled down the drain and he eventually loses everything precisely ''because'' of his philosophy starting with his village, his adoring fiance, his [[EyeScream eyesight]], his company's assets and finally his life. In short, if he hadn't tried to rob from others, they would have never thought of robbing him in the first place.
