There are lots of things that we would all like in life, but have to wait until we have the money to buy them.I save to get the things that i want, so why do some people go and steal of all the people that have strtuggled to get the things to have them stolen.Where i live there seem to be loads of people that steal off other people no matter what it is they steal and it is getting beyond a joke as loads of things are getting taken.

hi, if i have something wanted to have in my life of course i need to work for that,and i dont even think to steal from others no matter what happen,because of our eagerness to have that sometimes it is the way to push us to work hardly but there are still selfish people who wants to get that things without hardness.

This is so True. I have known too many people in my life lately that want everything for nothing, and would rob, steal etc. just to get it. They are always the ones getting help from the Government or State complaining they hurt, etc. but are the ones you will often catch doing just the opposite 10 minutes later. One of these days what goes around comes around will effect them for sure.

Money comes too hard in today's world. Everyone works hard for it and the things that they buy. When someone comes along and steals something of yours that you worked hard to get....you get so mad....why, why, we rage. All of this stealing will come back to bite the thieves in the a$$ someday. It's pretty bad when we can't even leave out barbques on the deck these days. Just plain sad!

My husband and I have been together for over nine years and in the years that we've spent together, we've worked hard to have things. We've purchased two cars and paid them off, we've also bought some pretty cool electronics as well. Our most recent purchase was our home that we bought three years ago and we are paying payments on that. We work hard to have the things that we have and it makes me absolutely sick when I see people that are stealing from those individuals that work hard.

Of course, it is worth to work for things we really want. Aside from it gives fulfillment, it also help us to grow.

Because it is easy and they think the rich owe them aliving. WHy? This is confusing. They seem to be under the confused deception that anyone reach or well to do needs to hand over the dough. It is sad that these types don't realize that in all actuality they are causing people to get richer.

People have to work hard to get what they want.When they work hard they'll know the value of a good they are buying.Such people will never resort to cheating or stealing.I think these good values have to be inculcated in the youth so they don't steal or deprive others of their hard earned earnings.

Well i do believe what you said. Things in life don't come that easy nowadays if you ask me. We are gonna have to work hard for whatever it is that we want to. Things in life if they had come the easy way do you think people would have worked for it if they had known how to do so? Well we have learned to work the hard way to make money now and i am sure all our efforts would be recognized soon enough if you ask me! Cheers!

Yes, i agree. It's too bad some people just want the easy way out, stealing from others instead of working hard for it. Some of them think that they are smart, because they used their brains. However, that's not the case. IF only they are able to put their 'talent' to good use, i'm sure they will be able to afford the things they want, in no time. It's a case of using their ability in the wrong way.

what I wanted in life is currently a working progress but i am working on it. Now believe its not too late and I can still have it. I'm a very ambitious person and I wanted to achieve it because there is more to life. I dont like the life i currently living and the life I wanted is something very ambitious but attainable. i wanted fame,fortune and honor. I'm working for it and I wanted it. I want to have it in a way I deserve it. I know I can enjoy my very existence in this world if I can achieve that goal. when it comes to material things, I just purchased a nintendo 3ds, so I can sneak in some fun during work. since the office is boring. Its a small gaming console so I can hide it under my desk...LOL I think I have a long way to achieve my very ambitious goal but I am on my way.

I couldn't agree more. I have never understood stealing or any crime for that reason. I don't understand why they would risk spending their lives in prison. I am convinced if those people spent the same amount of time they spend on planning to steal and then stealing whatever it is they steal, they could have made the same amount of money doing something the right and honest way. And then, everyone would be better off. They would be better off because they have the amount of money and don't have to worry about going to jail and the honest people would because we wouldn't have to worry about people stealing from us. The extent people will go to to steal a couple hundred dollars is a very sad reality today.

everything you want to acquire needs a lot of efforts, patient and time... so that when the time you get what you really wanted you can call it your achievement or success, all things get without using any single sweat or effort is useless at the end of the day... but as for the thief or snatcher whose stealing something, they are the one who make stealing as their job and they put their dignity on the line just to get what they want they also used effort though in the wrong way but still they exert effort to get anything from their target
