“If for example, you have a child, and S/He is sick, you have no money, no support from anybody, and the only option you got is to STEAL money, will you do it? as a parent? The most probable answer would be YES, you will, anything for your baby, so for you, what you’re doing is RIGHT, right? It became necessary, But, to the person you robbed, you’re wrong, right? So, is it right or wrong then?”

In my opinion, it’s wrong, no matter what the situation is. Though it may be necessary for you to do it, it’s still morally wrong to do it. Now, I’m not saying that you shouldn’t do it, because if that really is the only means you have of supporting a loved one, then I’ll be honest, I’d to it too. Sometimes doing the wrong thing is more likely the right thing to do.

Now, I personally would have exhausted every possible resource I could before resorting to larceny, but that’s because I am morally supportive of justice (not to mention that my career defend’s my countries laws and way of life). Yet, I would not say the person in this situation is a immoral person, but nevertheless, it is still an act of wrong-doing.

Great question! 

Does anyone else have any opinions on this?
