Augustine just got a thrill out of doing what was wrong. He said, “My desire was to enjoy not what I sought by stealing but merely the excitement of thieving and the doing of what was wrong”. This act of destruction seems to have a very adverse effect on Augustine’s psyche when he is older and in his confessions he spends a huge amount of time on this small insignificant event that to most people would just be something stupid he did as a child. Yet Augustine dwells on it and feels that since he sin came so easy to him, especially as a child, then people must be born with some inherent need to commit sin. When he talks about the original sin, he says that he used it as an excuse to sin, and that he would take great delight in it.
