Why shouldn't we steal?

Just a question. Why shouldn't you steal? Apparently, only about 10% of the population will come up with some sort of abstract moral reasoning to explain why we shouldn't steal. The rest will say something akin to, "Because we get in trouble," or, "Because it's against the law." Why shouldn't you steal? Edit: I'm an ardent supporter of property rights. I'm not implying that that theft is moral.

  • Well think of it this way. "Stealing" is described as [quote]take (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it.[/quote] Now lets think about it for a second. Lets say theft is legal. I can go up to someone and take someone's wallet and they can't do a thing about it. Then someone can walk up to me and take that wallet. The wallet isn't owned by anyone. It is everyone's property. If everyone has it, nobody does. Nobody can claim it is theirs since someone can make the same claim. If nobody owns the wallet, it cannot be stolen. So if theft is legal, it breaks down the entire concept of theft and property. It is paradoxical and illogical. Thus theft is immoral and should be illegal.
