Stealing, Is it Necessary?

Many people who are jealous or greedy want other people’s things. Some people think that a better life comes from selling things that they steal. Some poor people may steal essential things for long-term benefits. That is a better way. They can ask for work in exchange for long-term benefits. That is an honest and a safe way to live. We may imagine a world where everyone steals. How would we have peace of mind to go to work and leave our houses? We also may imagine not being able to leave of mind to go to work and leave our houses? We also may imagine not being able to leave our cars unattended while shopping. Would we want to be responsible for creating a world like this? No! Thus, we should not steal others’ belongings. People who do not steal are people who protect their things and the things of others. Their minds are peaceful and happy. Those who reduce their jealousy and greed do not want the things of others. People that become rich by taking others’ belongings will worry that one day the owners will come back to take revenge.
