Hubris? I think not. Hubris is defined as “extreme haughtiness or arrogance.” You are saying that I am being arrogant by stating that stealing is wrong and people who steal and then make up excuses as to why they can’t even donate a dollar to the person they stole from is being selfish?

You don’t thing stealing is selfish? Your morals say it is ok to take from someone? What is your definition of selfish?

In the country in which I live, not only is taking something without permission considered wrong – it is also illegal. As far as I have learned, my country’s moral standpoint with this illegal activity is the same throughout 99% of the world. Please tell me how my moral viewpoint is so vastly different.
