 Thou Shall not Steal
by Robert G Parent

Was Robin Hood correct when he stole from the rich then gave it to the poor?
Robin Hood through his actions told the public that stealing is okay if done for the good of all, or even just for the poor. Robin's Hood was in the right, some people would say because he helped the poor, but...

If we had a modern day Robin Hood, people would say that he's a hero but, think about Robin Hood from the other side from those who have money, who are rich.

In today's time, the rich world be the store owner and the many small businesses, who need to feed their families. These business may even give to charities from their own free will. If people stole from these businesses, what would happen to those whom they support like families, charities, and the local community?

For us to have a functioning society, grounded in true freedom, true opportunity, people need to have a choice to help people who are in need of the rich people's care because to take away a person's choice or force someone to do a good thing is evil for it takes away a person's possibility to redeem themselves of a sin, a mistake to get back on the correct path toward God, toward truth. Remember this, what we do to others is what is done to ourselves. We have a choice to hurt and heal, which comes down to freewill, to choice. Ponder in this, true power comes from real choice. It's good we grow.

There are many people who dream of doing what is in their heart to do, but they never make the decision to follow what is in their heart. It's hard to motivate oneself to achieve their dream but, it's possible who don't mind working hard to make their dreams come true. Work hard, make a plan, and follow the plan. This is what success is.  

However, there's a consciousness of lack, in society today. This consciousness includes limiting their power of decision, usually people miss the opportunity to make a decision because they cannot see the many opportunities that come in their lives because the other ways of seeing are not in his/her frame of reference. Sometimes people are talked out of their decision through ignorance and deception but, remember we all have the power of decision. We as a human  being in this place, need to manifest our decision.

We all have a gift to freely give to our community. When you steal from the gifts of the others in the local community, you steal from your own future good in becoming rich yourself. Also, those who still give their gifts freely, they will continue to do so. When you steal, you harm yourself.
