thieves

this week has been hard and it's only wednesday

i was robbed - stolen from - taken advantage of.

i don't understand what goes through a humans mind that makes them want to take from others - is it for their own benefit - is it to feed a need they desperately have?

the human psyche is so complex and interesting that having my life violated in a somewhat minor way - still has me contemplative about being stole from. my first thought is thieves are selfish beings only thinking of themselves but i am going to retract that statement a bit because i think thieves might actually have a quite selfless side to them. they steal and take but not to hurt someone but to help.

think of it like the story of Robin Hood - if i have a plethora of something that while i need it and use it - maybe just maybe - that person needs it more.
