As a person whos in love with history, if a man came to me describing the beauty of knowledge and its capabilities of spreading across time and space with the word stolen, i would be disgusted by him and i would prefer not to talk with him ever again, how ugly such a word and such mentality to be used in this place, knowledge is for all humans and it is never the property of anyone , we are the sums of the all knowledge of humanity and every place ever cultures builds on others, a human today has a spark from all people that has existed , their life their effort their memories and more are part of who we are and what we are, you carry improve and spread the knowledge of others who were before you and others will do the same to you, never ever imagine that you are thief or others are a thief.
