    Recently, I came across a jaw-dropping story. A 17-year-old girl caused $8 million in damages at a Walmart after lighting a fake plant on fire — all because of an intrusive thought. She had a lighter in her pocket, pulled it out to burn a fake leaf "just to see," and in seconds, the aisle—and store—was engulfed in flames.Walmart couldn't sell smoke-damaged merchandise. She was caught on security cameras, tracked, arrested, and sentenced: 60 days in jail, $4,000 bond, years of parole, and potentially $8 million in restitution unless she successfully completes her parole, in which case she still owes $1 million.This isn't about judgment—it's about observation. The most eye-opening part? During the interviews, her mindset revealed zero ownership. She blamed her anxiety, her intrusive thoughts, her depression. These are real struggles, absolutely. But they don't remove responsibility.And that's the point:
