       Have you ever noticed how bad it feels to start eating something you picked up in a self-service shop before you got to the checkout and paid for it, even when you fully intend to pay for it, and just need the wrapper to do that?This is because internally we still think about things in terms of being cursed and performing a cleansing ritual to fully transfer the ownership. This is also why it feels wrong to eat (or use) something stolen, even if it's someone else who stole it.

       @deshipu as a counterexample, stolen fruit from a tree feels great to eat. especially if it was behind a fence
