Thou shalt not steal. This is one of the ten commandments in the holy book called the Bible. At least for Christians it’s the holy book. Whatever the case, the rule makes sense. After all, stealing is not exactly a healthy thing to do. Legally and otherwise. I was talking to this female friend of mine from Milner and she was looking very sad. She told me that someone had taken part of her milk and poured water into the container to disguise this fact. The milk had been in the res fridge and there was no way of knowing who had done this bad deed. Another lady told me she once caught someone red-handed stealing her juice in the fridge. I realised that this is a common problem. In my res, you leave food in the fridge at your own risk. I came to the conclusion that here are a great many people who break the commandment which decrees that we should not steal. It is one’s choice to follow rules. But it’s not good to break rules in a way that affects other people. Did not the holy book say ask and thou shalt be given? If one is in need, one must ask. But I doubt the need as everyone is fed in the dining hall. If you are not full, you can go for seconds. People should be able to place food in the fridge without the danger of it being stolen or tasted by someone. Just remember,thou shalt not steal.
