Why people make money by robbing the bank or stealing?

The world is tough for me. Even tougher for some people who live in the streets or downtown. I think people who did robbing and stealing aren't given chances to live their live in a better way. Hard ways make "hard" people. Don't you think?

Hi there! Stealing is never right. The end doesn't justify the means. I think that people who rob banks and steal are desperate ones or those who have connections and influence and have twisted mind to abuse these. Those who have wrong values in life like valuing money more than their life, their family and integrity.

I agree that they are the desperate ones.

Because they are desperate and stupid! You are right about only one side of this. Hard ways do make hard people, BUT, people do have choices and options if they look for them. Not all people who have had a hard life have chosen this path to take. Not all ending up stealing or robbing. I can see where they get too far down in the mire that is life but they do have choices to make.

Can you imagine when you tried so hard to find a proper right job but people keep you cornered saying that they don't need more help? Or even more worse reason they can give you. Then you finally come to an end, or maybe not you but maybe some people can't take the pressure any longer and they change the way they are.

My daughter has a friend who is in prison now for just getting to the end of his rope. He didn't have the money to go see his son and he made a very bad decision. It happens. We pay the price and then we move on. Hopefully learning from our mistakes.
