The taking

Just before our afternoon briefing, I and some coworkers were idly sitting around talking about nothing in general, when on of the guys mentioned that he got over on some random person in the streets. I don't remember the specifies of my coworkers encounter, but he ended up saying that if you see a fool, then you should take advantage of a fool, if you can.
A couple of the group relied back in the affirmative.
At that moment, their answers were unsettling, and I had to step back, and go within to understand my own reaction.
I feel as though it is a miracle for me to go forth on this planet. I shouldn't even be here, yet I am! I try not to take this for granted. I believe some higher force has my best interests in hand, and for me to willfully take advantage of someone else would be like spitting in the face of that force, that is forever in my corner!
To willfully take advantage of another, is not believing in the miracle that you are!
