it's only "theft" because people have allowed themselves to be brainwashed into believing it and NOT thinking for themselves! ...brainwashed by people who desire to CONTROL who recognizes them for their ideas. This has to do with what every negative emotion stems from: fear. Leads to greed, leads to worry, leads to self-entitlement.

We are all part of 1 mind anyways, so it's not like any idea is strictly that 1 person's blessings. That's their ego...there's no need to spread negativity because one feels entitled :)
