The Mentality of a thief.

A thief is someone who steals another's property either buy force or through other means. How does a thief, think? Does he steal for fun, or he feels society has been wicked to him and the best way to get even, is through forcefully taking from society?

A thief is in many regard a hopeless person, who has lost hope in following through with the ethical way of making money to sticking with the easier way. A thief is a lazy person, who would instead of using his God given talent, skills or persistence to make wealth decides to stick with the easier route. A thief has a poor understanding of what life is all about. Of course the easier route is to blame society since our value systems have nose dived and all that is celebrated is Money and more Money.

But unfortunately, the end for a thief is never good, in some parts of the world where jungle justice is the other of the day, a thief 's life is nothing, a tyre to the neck and he is set ablaze. In other parts, prison sentences, some parts of the world its a capital offence like corruption

So why do people steal
A) Some people as children were born into the lifestyle and don't know any other way of living
B) Some people steal because they are hungry or to buy drugs, they steal to meet an urgent craving.
C)Some people steal because of greed.
D) Some people steal because of lifestyle and friends.
E)Some people steal because its an impulse they can't control.

Stealing develops as a mindset and can only be cured by rehabilitation and changing the mindset of the thief, where stealing is never an option, no matter the situation. That is why lots of thieves after serving their time in jail, come out and still continue in the act.

Its important that a rehabilitated thief is taught a skill or goes to school.
A thief that steals on impulse needs evaluation, treatment and lots of doses of love.

Lots of youths, children in the ongoing recession, have resorted to stealing but by changing their mindset, we show them that stealing is not an option.
