We Steal

The Kite Runner contains a glorious passage depicting a great many moments of backstabbing, of lying, cheating... Stealing. We
steal things so often we barely even recognize the crime. No copyright infringement intended here, but this is golden to
describe the current situation with me.

"...there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft... When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness... There is no act more wretched than stealing."
