Stealing!

Each morning, i just love to read the new headlines of the newspapers, have a cup of hot nescafe, and smoke a cigarette or two.

and today i ran on this column on "stealing", or taking something that is not yours. The authorities arrested a guy who made financial fraud for 50-60 mil. Euros, and everyone is expecting other VIP people to fall too.

As the author says(by the way my favorite domestic writer), the stealing comes with humanity when Adam and Eva stole the apple. Other animals steal food too, but stealing is defined as taking more than you need, and animals take just enough as much as they need. Adam and Eva had everything and they have still stolen the apple. Even there was attempt, the golden nails that Jesus was hammered on the cross, to be stolen.

My opinion - that there is a paradox - that in Macedonia the jails are filled with criminals that have stolen very little cause they were poor(i am not trying to excuse them). the ones who are really corrupted(as elsewhere in the world) as governmental people, judges, journalists/media are out - and those are the ones that are existing to defend the moral fiber and human values, and they are just not doing it, but abusing it.

what do we expect then from the rest of the people? maybe the author of the column was right!

maybe stealing is in our nature!
