A thief

I have a confession to make. I am a thief. You heard it right, yes I am a thief. Now that I have successfully got your attention...na, I am not joking. Oh but I am a petty thief. I believe only a highly intellectual person, driven by creativeness, loaded with- piles and piles of boldness and courage, insane to the mundane eye can rob a bank. I remain empty of all of the virtues, so robbing a bank might be in my list in my next 100th birth. As a matter of fact I am too timid to steal a lost item even if I by chance come across it on shahara desert all by myself. I exaggerate a bit ;-)
So what is it that qualifies me as a thief? By the way, no-one has imposed that title on me. It's a self acclaimed.
Here it is :
Perfection is directly proportional to nihility. I mean, point one single perfect mundane and I will savior him or her. No-one is perfectly good or perfectly bad. The scale is always tilted.
I have been stealing something from everyone I met or meet.  Because irrespective of who that person is there is ALWAYS something good in them. And that's what I steal, I steal their goodness. It's not like they will ever run out of it. I see no harm to the victim and nor to the thief.
Oh, it's definitely not like I am burping with goodness at this point. I have so much badness in me and I am just trying to balance my scale. It is so nerve racking because my one bad act and all my goodness just puffs in the air.When I found out that I could steal the goodness in them, I couldn't hate them anymore. There is always something you can learn from the people you meet.
So if there is someone you can't tolerate at all, maybe your rude boss, backbiting neighbours, careless friends, hyper naughty kid next door. Just look beyond their  rudness, carelessness, naughtyness, irrationalness, you will find their goodness. Hold on to that goodness or maybe steal it, like me. Trust me, you can't hate that person anymore after that.
Try that and let me know how it works out with you ;-)
