Everyone commits a sin every now-and-then. After all, “We are only human.” Despite the degree of the sin, the sinner gains from it in one way or another. I find that the activity of wearing my letter has benefited me in many ways.
First, it is not my fault that I have an abnormal, persistent impulse to steal. I am not a thief; theft is related to stealing things of great value or meaning. One might say that it is theft, but I have a sudden impulse to steal things that do not necessarily have much value.
Second, just last Friday, when at the mall with my friend Karen, I could not help but grab a small package of tissues and my friend’s scarf that was hanging out of her purse. It was especially convenient having pockets on the inside of my coat, this only made my desire grow stronger. At one point Karen caught me stealing a tube of chapstick. Her shaking her head at me and giving me a quizzical look shortly followed the action.
Third, many people are miserable, simply because they are living a false life. When it comes to facing others they might feel the need to impress, they and put on a “mask” and parade as if there is nothing wrong. There might not be anything wrong on the outside; however, I assure you that there is always at least one thing wrong with their heart. They might behave as if there is nothing wrong, but it is only an act.

Fourth, When it was time to wear my letter at school, the student body did not react to it. Many students sympathized because they had the assignment in the past. Some just looked at me quizzically and dismissed as quickly as they noticed it. The teachers asked what it stood for, simply to see how creative we were. Outside of school there was not much difference. It seems as though the act of committing a sin is widely accepted. When I wore my letter to work, people did not even respond. They would glance at me, and only me. They never looked at my letter and asked me “ Why are you wearing such a ridiculous thing?”
Last, my sin is kleptomania, an abnormal and persistent impulse to steal things of little value. An example of things I have stolen would be the packet of tissue and Karen’s scarf. I have found that many people choose to hide under a false identity, with the sin buried under all the lies and excuses. I have discovered that because many people sin and that people see acts of sin committed all the time, society has become immune to seeing it as wrong. If people would not to live a lie their happiness would grow and they would be more respected. Besides, “The truth is more important than the facts” – Frank Lloyd Wright.
