A Moral Russia, or None At All! - A.I.S.

Caught two people stealing at work today. First time for me, and a cause for reflection. I work for a huge company, and noone is harmed personally, but I believe there is more to it than these tired excuses. At which point does theft of a fifty dollar item and that of a familys car differ? One, of course, causes more anguish and harm, but what is the line between theft that is okay and that which is not? These thin lines, these intangibles, they shift case by case and generation by generation. But one antisocial act begets another, and the belief that thievery is justified are no healthy attitudes to find in society. I truly believe that the blurring of right and wrong daily tears at the fabric of our society. It is no longer wrong in this day in age to divorce, breed out of wedlock, or philander. Of course the first two necessarily have their exceptions, and ought to, but the fact of these things creating not a bit of questioning is an example of such fine lines between taboo and acceptable dissolving.
