A group of kids about the age of eight came into the shop and as they left, a lighter was found missing. It was an assumption that they were the ones who stole it. I wasn’t there. Weeks later, they showed up again, but this time, I caught them red handed, stealing the exact same item. Guess the assumption wasn’t merely an assumption after all, and surprisingly, one of the boys is the son of the staff next door. What a brilliant gift for Mother’s Day. It is understandable that children at this age tends to make mistakes in search of adventures and excitements, but it is unforgivable that they do not realise their mistakes in time and intend to do it again, in the exact same shop, targeting the exact same product on sale. Now how idiotic can that be? We would usually define stealing as taking a person’s belongings without permission but personally, there’s a whole new definition which should be added in as the society is way different from what it used to be. In the current days we have people who go lovey-dovey with all the opposite gender available, or perhaps I should say, all possible candidates who may just fall for the tricks they play and from there they have several options of who to choose, even if they are already in a stable relationship. Stealing the hearts is what we always call it, taking it as the temporary toy to play with instead of something to be appreciated. We have those who constantly reminding a person regarding the third party’s doings and how frustrating it can be at times, emphasizing on their so called better personalities on purpose, without having to make it obvious, not realising their such behaviour isn’t anywhere better at all. Stealing the crowd from the third party we may known it as, hoping it would stay on their sides instead. Thief or no thief, somehow it looks the same, at least for now it is.
