JSW Prompt 1-14-2017
“Is there a difference?”
“Well… yes, of course.”
“I beg to differ. If you are acquiring things which don’t belong to you, it stands to reason you are stealing them.”
“Haberdash and humbuggery!”
“Take this TV, for example.”
“What about it?”
“It’s not yours, correct?”
“Well… it is now.”
“But you didn’t buy it in the store? Did you?”
“Humm…not if you are thinking Best Buy or Walmart. Let’s just say I borrowed it from the greater store of the world.”
“The greatest store in the world?”
“Look around you. Think of each house as a mini store with the world as the all-encompassing mall.”
“That’s stealing.”
“Borrowing with intent.”
“But look at all this stuff.”
“Pretty, isn’t it?”
“Pretty, yes, and not yours. So….why?”
“It’s fun.”
“Fun?”
“Yeah, you know, enjoyable. Something one likes doing. Pleasurable.”
“Hopeless.”
“Need a microwave?”
