Justification of wrong actions.
-
What is stealing? Taking what is not ours.
-
What is not ours? Someone else’s property.
-
What is property? A person’s right to free choice. It is our bodies, minds, food, land etc.
-
When do we steal? We steal when we give ourselves the justification to do it. Stealing means we are giving ourselves a False lower case right.
These questions can shine light on why we harm ourselves and others.
Justifications to do wrong are symptoms of a viral way of thinking. These ways of thinking are perceptions or paradigms we use to manage and interpret our world. These perceptions obfuscate the truth. They keep people from discovering truth.
Sayings like ‘Perception is reality’ show a skewed way of thinking. This skewed way of perceiving becomes a belife. These belifes lead us into taking needless actions that cause harm to ourselves and others.
Paradigms are held by individuals and by groups. These things can be taken on as a temporary or long-term way of thinking and being. Some of us know how to take on different ways of seeing to best fit a situation or goal. Perceptions can be paired with a practice of letting go of attachments.
If paradigms and perceptions are beliefs that can be shifted through, what is permanent? What is true? What can we use as a measurement for truth?
Moral relativism is the result of believing there is no truth to be discovered. It says’ Perception is reality.’ It comes from thinking Right and wrong change with location, era., culture etc. It comes from not wanting to take responsibility.
The truth is unchanging. It needs no justification. Man cannot make it up. Man cannot write it on a piece of paper to make it a RIGHT.
Made up things that are not true need enforcement. They need to be written into law. They change with culture, scenario, era, authority status and so on.
WHY DO PEOPLE STEAL? You answer.
