To steal or not to steal.
Stealing is bad but I have heard of people who have stolen and have lived for many years from it.
It seems to depend on each person what is understood as bad and good, for many people stealing is a sin. Through life and lived experiences we realize that stealing always has a punishment, it’s punishable by the law of man, it’s punishable by the law of our parents, or at least of most parents, and it is a sin by the law of God.
A long time ago a person was shot by the cops while he was stealing from a public place. What puzzled me was to read that the mother was asking for justice for her son because he was not evil, he had never killed anyone and only stole without hurting anyone.
I was a bit disoriented by that mother's comment, while she was crying for her dead son and asking for justice.
For her stealing meant nothing, no crime, no sin because she justified it as he was not a murderer.
A mother also said that her son did not deserve the pain of death because he only killed and stole to give to the needy.
It makes me think about how everyone has their own perception of what it means to steal or kill. Do we even know the consequences of what can happen in a person's life when he or she has been robbed? How can we say that it is okay to steal because the purpose was to help others?
And then the lives of people are only worth for some and not for others? Or are we wrong with the laws, with the commandments, with the way we judge the innocent as guilty or sinners?
Each one really sees life from his own perspective. That is why laws exist, so that a court can decide if there is a guilty or an innocent in a robbery and there is also divine justice when the man who was given the power to execute the law does not do it properly.
We are in a world where we are always justifying people with our own way of blaming or inculpating. I think we should be a little more sensible when it comes to making judgments because to the extent that we judge we will be judged and no one escapes that law, believe it or not it exists and we are all going to end up in that law.
I knew of a man who was quite a character and sold the Eifel Tower twice. He was so shrewd that he gathered a group of people and while they studied the veracity or not of the fact, he studied them discreetly. According to this character, he claimed that he was a government official and in good faith he knew that the tower would be demolished.
This shrewd swindler was looking for the weakest and most easily duped in his group and he succeeded. He made him lose many millions and fled to another country after he had duped him. It happened that the duped person was a very public person and did not inform the authorities of the robbery and the swindler, when he realized that he was not wanted, returned to his country to sell the same tower to another group of unwary people. Fortunately, this time he was arrested.
There was also a con man who sold a machine to make money and then fled the country. The person who was scammed realized when he was already looking for his third legal bill and only a blank piece of paper came out of his money machine. He filed a lawsuit without success, the thief never showed up and instead he earned a large amount of money, very important to continue doing his business in the country he chose to live in.
In this way life for some has some values imposed on it that are very important in our lives while for others they are moderately important and for a few they mean absolutely nothing.

I have seen some videos of mothers justifying their sons as thieves or murderers, "my son only stabbed him because he wouldn't let himself be robbed...that was no reason to kill him" or something like that. Unfortunately, many executors of justice are also committing robberies without being punished for these crimes.
