Grand theft author

I watched the movie Kite Runner recently after musing for several weeks if I ought to just buy me the book. Resource-wise, I am always tempted to buy Japanese manga books or novels, but when it happens that the book is coming out in theaters, I usually end up going for the visual thing first and then consider the written word. Back to the main story presented in the Kite Runner:the movie, I felt it very significant to point out that early in the film, the father figure admonished the child that theft is the greatest sin of all. That if a robber steals and then kills off a man, he robs the family of a life spent with the man… It struck me as significant that theft in our society has gone on unhampered and without delikadeza. In politics, yes, obviously as another round of rallies unfold before Holy Week. In culture, yes, not so obvious to most because only theft in politics is getting a good share of exposure in the media. Two days ago, I found myself in the awkward, to put it mildly, position of contemplating why some of my peers have come to perceive theft among peers as not worthy of much fuss. It was easy to think most people are jaded and just want to go along life peacefully. But inside, I know it to be much deeper than that. Most of my peers are professionals and quite celebrities already. They must be, because they are often invited to become guest speakers and judges at numerous occasions. It’s probably because of this perception that they are more guarded than we all used to be about our affinities and alliances. Thankfully, I have not reached their status which affords me the creative space to be subversive in my craft. But before young rebels of this generation quote me on that, I had to master the basics before I could lash out in rebellion. I am not afraid to call a spade a spade when it comes to theft. The nerve of those who scolded me about this. It is simply like the message of the Kite Runner, theft is clearly taking something without thought of the people related to the person victimized, depriving innocent people of a peaceful, loving and decent living. It is a crucial cause worth fighting against in all levels and circles we move in.
