Um. This is not an important topic. I just want to tell somebody about this. I always and always think about it.

When I was on elementary school and junior high school, I often steal anything from my family and my acquaintances. I can't recall from when exactly. I stole cellphones, twice, when I was on the second and third grade on elementary school.

When I was on elementary school, I stole my classmate's tuition. Then I framed my other classmate for it.

When I was on junior high school, I embezzled the money of the student council. But I paid it back with my own money. I lied and said that I lost the money on the way to school to everyone.

And there are still a lot of things happened before ....

You know, I'm really good when it comes to stealing or lying. I can manipulate everyone easily. Even my teachers, even my classmates, everyone. There is NO ONE who would believe that I was a thief and a corruptor. My acquaintances look me as a saint.

I don't steal anything anymore. But I never forget what I've done in the past. I always think that I'm a horrible person. The most horrible person in this world. Up until now. It's like a curse that follow me everywhere. I'm even sure that it looks like I will be dragged to hell in the afterlife. No matter how many times I read that God will always forgive your wrong doings as long as you repent and never repeat it again.

... well, the good thing is I never look down on others, no matter how bad their doings in the view of society. Haha. My friend once said to me that she had done something bad, and I was calmly said, 'What have you done? Killing? Abortion? Selling marijuana?' LOL.

So that's it all. Sorry for writing something so borring and not important. Hahaha. I just want somebody to know about this, about my sin and my biggest guilt. I'm sick being looked as a saint when I have done horrible things in the past.

And no, I haven't killed somebody once in my life. LOL. I only stole things.

Thank you for reading. Sorry for my bad English or my grammar error. Have a nice day. And hello, I'm new to this place.

I'm about the same, except I don't steal from my family or good people.

I don't feel bad for doing that. I usually hate the people I steal and frame.

Stealing, lying and manipulating are arts and worthy skills, not sins.

>>2 Dexterity and quick wits are worthy skills. Don't confuse legitimate talent with shitty behaviour.

>>3 This.

However, nothing done in necessity could be wrong. Yes?
If one must steal, lie, cheat, and manipulate to survive then that's what they have to do.


Also, manipulation doesn't have to be negative. There is positive and negative sides to words and actions, the intent matters.

>>4 I wouldn't say stealing out of necessity is right, but definitely justified. Sometimes people have to do bad things just to get by, and that I can understand. It's very different from doing bad things because you want to.

>>5 I agree with you there.
Stealing is a tricky one, I think it being justified makes it "right" at least to some level.

I believe you're right but this person seem to be enjoying it to much so this person isn't exactly doing it to survive but can get away with it. I was a great theif too but I didn't like the ideas of stealing something someone earn for my needs so I switch to just stealing from stores. I was done with that though after college b/c I felt I can work for it and there was any reason to risk getting caught if I am well capable earning it. I used to steal all kinds of stuff. Money, food, books, clothes, jewelry, beer and drugs. I would give it away too for money but I'll keep outfits, jewelry, food, books and beer. I used to smoke so when I quit selling or giving it away didn't matter to my anymore. Then I just finally stop and started dating after awhile I met my lover.

Kirikomori,

The past is the past. Who cares? Not like you can change it. So stop dwelling. Stealing, in general, is obviously wrong but it's not that much of a big deal unless w/e you stole is quite valuable.

Everybody lies. You lie, I lie, your parents lie, they lie ↑, and the next person you talk to definitely lies. Some more than others, some better, some worse. Welcome to modern society. If you think these two factors are enough to drag you into hell? Then get in line, buddy. Probably next to that guy who downloaded some illegal porn in his life or somethin'. I don't know.

But w/e the case, the past doesn't define who you are. What you do from now on; how you contribute, maybe..
There's always room for change.

Yitmas, you make me almost cry. LOL.

Hey Kirikomori, Yitmas is right..
The past does not define who you will be in the future.

Nobody is perfect. Everyone has done horrible things in their life. Some are just too prideful to admit it. Even the people you meet everyday has at least lied, cheated, and manipulated once in their life.

The thing you have to remember is how you view that mistake that you have done in the past. It's either you stay and live in it for the rest of your life, or better yet learn from it and believe that you can change for the better.

God really does forgive those who repent and change for the better . I mean look at the saints who used to be thieves and liars themselves. They decided that there is room for change and became better people.

The things you did in the past were bad, I can really say that. But that doesn't make you a bad person.. Oh yeah and don't feel sick that people view you to be a good person even though you did bad things. Keep it as a reminder and Be thankful that you managed to step up from the person you once were.

Hope this helps ^^

Kirikomori, it's ok. As long as you didn't rob a bank then you'll be fine. Just leave all of that other stuff in the past and focus on a better future. ^u^
