Rights ...

Proverbs 6:30-31

30 People do not despise a thief
If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving.
31 Yet when he is found, he must restore sevenfold;
He may have to give up all the substance of his house.

 

 

Does one have a right to steal because of a state of need?

Does one have the privilege because of greater desire?

Can one take what is not theirs and hope for God’s speed?

Can one think to be right loving to swim in the mire?

 

Is it a difficult question although it’s been around for a while?

Most folks think to have rights equally to others

In a way that’s good but in other ways build piles

of resentment and greed that now society bothers
