This proverb shows that if we try to do something steadily with perseverence, we can accomplish it. But the lesson of this proverb can be perverted in the case of stalking, which causes mental anguish and physical pain for its victims. Stalkers often grow up with a very poor sense of their own identity, and studies have shown that delusional stalkers are often the most tenacious. The victims of stalking feel helpless, and often feel isolated if they are unable to convince anyone of their problem. Sometimes, they feel embarrassed to tell anyone or go to the police, so they huddle intheir homes, afraid to go out.
Stalkers are especially problematic for popular stars.
For example, Bae Young-Jun, a TV personality was recently harassed by a female reporter from a CD magazine. She approached him about an interview and kept calling him every day to arrange a meeting. According to a recent study, stalking is not just limited to female victims. Men, as well are being targeted. Kim Chang-won, a Korean popular singer, was harassed frequently by a male stalker.
