Thou shalt not steal...

"Thou shalt not steal."

The word "steal" as a part of the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament
is traditionally interpreted to refer to as the stealing of another human being,
or kidnapping.

In the New Testament, 
it is referred to as stealing property
or theft.

In a new and 'modern' world,
and with personal thoughts inspired by a killer yoga session,
I urge you to answer this question:

Are you a thief?

No, you answer, at least not in the 'traditional' sense of the word.

But now ask yourself this:

Have you stolen someone else's experience 
by replacing it with your own opinions or control?

In a time of giving,
consider it's counterpart that you could inflict in every origin of the meaning. 
It's so easy to judge, speak without thought 
and assert control to manipulate.

So whether you're a parent, friend, spouse or sibling,
pause and consider what experience you've taken away
and quietly, creatively, and gently

Give it Back.
