And if you are taking something from ME then it is theft. <br /><br />But theft is defined as usurping property from its *rightful owner* and that is where the view is misguided, as it presumes that "The World" owns those resources.<br /><br />I love the section on the 7th Commandment in The Catechism as it discusses how if we are not being good stewards of our time, talents, and treasures, then it is in fact theft! But it is not stealing from "The World" but rather it is theft from God, because He is the rightful owner.<br /><br />{I do TRY to be a good steward, but I am sure glad He is very patient that I "borrow" from Him a lot longer than I should most times}Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163713941436667861noreply@blogger.com
