This Land Is My Land

In the Bible, the book of Exodus gives us commandments ten to be exact. But I would like to point out two of them that are important to the topic of this post. The commandments "Thou shalt not steal" and "Thou shalt not steal" Man has always had a disease called greed, greed makes man want, makes man want more and more until man feels he can fill his bottomless pit with useless things. Greed makes man covet, greed makes man steal. Some times man stops by listening to something called civility, civility can make man think, think twice about his actions. But if man chooses to ignore civility, then this thing that was at one time a lawful person paying his taxes, is not a cold hearted, greedy, criminal thirsty for more. If man can not control himself then he can not be safe. But is there a just? An actual good reason for a man to steal? Would man look down on the man that just stole a wallet to feed his family? yes man would, man would say "What he did was immoral." Meanwhile a man would look up to the lawyer for helping a man win a case where the accused were innocent and found guilty and had to pay a $2,000 fine to the accusing lawyer and man. Just tell me this, is it wrong for a man to need ? Or is it wrong for a man to want?
