Stealing a loaf of bread, or a sack of potatoes, or a few cows, or a truck filled with groceries is still theft. It is the taking from one who has prepared for his future, by one who has failed to prepare. Those who are prepared, and can protect their preparations, will survive. Those who failed to prepare, but can manage to successfully prey on those who did, will survive.

Both choices have consequences. If you prepare, you will become a target for the masses of collectivist minded drones who think you owe them something. If you don't prepare, you will have to compete with the masses of collectivist drones.

Here is a fun question- if a bread thief is successful, is he under any obligation to share his loaf with the other hungry collectivists trying to steal it from him? Or is he entitled to all of it, because he 'earned it'?

Remember Pet Semetary " The soil in a man's heart is stonier". I have had situations where I have had to do the wrong thing for the right reasons. It is called survival, either for me or my loved one. Do I apologize. NO!!! I have never committed "acts" out of evil intent or maliciousness. I had to do what I had to do to live!!! Hopefully God will see what the motivtion was!!!

I agree with your sentiments here Catnoel and I'm sure we would all do whatever it takes to survive and protect the people we care about.

Would you tell your best friend that you saw her husband out with another woman?

This information could potentially end her marriage if you're right or your friendship if you're wrong? What would you do?

(note: I was actually placed in this situation once)

I was in this situation when I was younger and I lost a friend because i told her that her boyfriend had tried it on with me. We had been best friends since we were 4 and this was 14years later and she chose him over me. That was very hurtful.

A few years back a friend asked me if I had seen her husband cheating with other ladies whilst we were at work in the bar they owned. Although I had seen this I told her that her husband loved her very much and I hadn't seen anything. I may have lied but I did not want to be responsible for either ending their marriage or once again losing a good friend.
