..robbers of the soul...

" i have to lock up the house ..."
Why?
"...to protect myself and my family and all our precious possessions from robbers and miscreants."

We all lock up the house every night..
we lock up whenever we go out
to protect the house, the contents in it...
the precious things gathered and collected over time
the special music collections, the books, the paintings, sculptures
electronic devices, dvds, crockery,jewellery, silverware...

and what about locking ourselves and protecting ourselves from whatever we fear will be robbed from us...?
No- I am not talking jewellery that is on one's person
or clothes for that matter..

What about protecting oneself from robbers of the soul?

Is that why we all have an inbuilt mechanism (also called instinct) by which we shun the company of some and crave the company of others...?
