This is a true story.
It happened one day in Chicago, in an airport. A young lady was waiting in the departure lounge for the boarding announcement for her delayed flight. It was a Friday evening and she was looking forward to go back home and rest. She was just so stressed because of this delays she walked across to a kiosk and bought herself a pack of cookies. She spot a seat adjacent to a table. She pulled her laptop, doing some work. She took one bite of cookie then another then another and so on. As she reached for the second cookie she saw a man on the next seat was helping himself too without even asking if he can.
Both of them shared the cookie till the last one, the man looked at the lady then he divided the last cookie in two pieces and had it. After some time it was the time for his flight, so he went. The lady was shocked, she thought that guy was so rude he had all of her cookies without even asking if he can. She tried not to spoil her mood so the lady thought of touching up her make up but when she opened her bag she found the packet of cookies she bought in her bag packed. She felt so guilty for that second, she tried  looking for that man everywhere to say sorry for eating all of his cookies and being so rude to him . But she couldn't find him...

Conclusion: we all go through our lives feeling that other people are taking advantage of us, if our talents, stealing our cookies. We seldom pause to think about how we also depend on others, their support,their cookies😄
Often the cookies we think of as our own actually belong to someone else...
