You claim that you have some sort of reasoning to rationalise stealing but you don't. Don't kid yourself that you do. Your only reason is "it makes me happy". As much as you like to think that makes you different to other thieves, it doesn't. You're exactly the same. So in other words: yes, I'm sure there are loads of people like you. Not that that is any rationalisation either.
I know I'm no different from any other thief in the end (besides kleptomaniacs). I put in that bit about kleptomaniacs because I figured at least a few people would suggest that may be my problem but I know I don't suffer from kleptomania.
I'm perfectly aware that very few people would agree with my rationalizations. That doesn't diminish them in my mind though. They are very real to me, and the need to take (for principle, not financial need) is persistent.
I didn't start stealing and then make up these rules to somehow settle my conscience like many do (I don't think I even have a conscience, honestly). I made up the rules first and then set out on my mission.
Is it normal to have the "responsibility" to steal?
