Summary
This quote suggests that when someone takes something without permission, they are not necessarily stealing it but rather borrowing it temporarily. It implies that people may view their actions as mere borrowing because they almost always have intentions to return or replace what they took. By highlighting this perspective, the quote questions the nature of theft and suggests a more forgiving outlook that assumes people have unintentionally borrowed something instead of purposefully stealing it.
