My Life of Crime
Okay well maybe the title is overstating a little, when I was young (maybe 10, 11 or 12) I stole three things from two different shops….one of them to my shame was a charity shop
But the thing is that I really didn’t want the things I stole, I didn’t feel like I had been denied things in my life, I wasn’t unhappy. In fact the only reason I stole was curiosity.
And now thinking back that’s a pretty amazing thing to me, I not only broke my moral code but the law all to satiate curiosity, so it leads me to think Humans in general are pretty much completely unmanageable.
By nature they are volatile and when denied anything they will strive to get what they think they deserve. When harmed or mistreated they become even more unstable and can endlessly try to regain a sense of strength and power.And even when they are happy and content their endless desire to discover and to experience will drive them to ever more extreme behaviour.
Humans are incredible don’t get me wrong they are inventive and ever expanding for exactly the same reasons….but there’s just no way things will be smooth or organised for very long it’s just not the way Humans roll.

Yup… this is the basis most of us use for realizing that we need a savior…
Because in the end, there wouldn’t be anything that we could do to “plead” our innocence.
Not trying to preach, just my thought for the day. haha.
It’s true! We always want and when we can’t get something, the urge becomes stronger. We humans are complex creatures!
@LKJSlain - Yeah i suppose so, that and a need for ‘meaning’
@Margo73 - Just plain unbidable lol
Shoplifting was my hobby when I was teenager. I enjoyed stole chocolates and candies from Wal Mart.
@RestlessButterfly - Haha just so long as you’ve given it up now
But did they tasted better than the bought ones?
@BFB1131 - Huh… I don’t actually eat them, I gave them to any kids I came across or the gave them to the beggars on the street.
