Would You

[MagicNakor]

I would like to think I wouldn't. But I know I probably would.

I'm an accountant/auditor too.

[j2k4]

Better that than a lawyer/solicitor.

Kudos to the both of you; who knew accountants weren't terribly boring?

[BigBank_Hank]

I probably would do it. But being the worrywart that I am I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night knowing that I stole that much money. After a few days of worrying myself sick over the whole thing I probably admit to the whole thing even if I wasn’t questioned for it.

I know, but even if it was 100% foolproof and I knew it; I wouldn't trust myself to know that it was a 100% sure thing.

so basically I'm saying that I would sike myself out.

This would be me. But I'd regret not doing it for the rest of my life

Are some of us then of the opinion that it is OK to steal from some people but not from others.

And others of the opinin that it is OK to steal from anyone, so long as we will not be caught doing it.

Picture the scene.

You are able to steal $1,000,000 from a large corporation. There is no way you will be found out, in fact they will not even realise that they have lost the money. So there will be no investigation.

There will be no chance of you being caught or prosecuted by anyone, you are totally in the clear with no worries or concerns.

Would you do it, can you explain your answer please ?

i need the money they dont. so yes i would take it.

No, J'Pol. To me, whatever choices I make usually have consequences. As I said, I am my own worst prosecutor. But then most of my lessons have come from experience and I know that my subconscious mind holds the things I cannot forgive myself for. I don't need it holding something as big as that.

Would you perhaps describe this as your conscience.

I wouldent take it all at once. I would take like a couple grand every time I needed the money.

May I ask why.

Do you think that would be morally more aceptable or is it a purely practical reason. [/b][/quote]
i maybe wouldn&#39;t take that much. IRL my pc&#39;s dying my clothes are all worn or too small and my motorbike has been stolen (which is really my lifeline to the world without it i cant travel very far to work or to socialise). i&#39;m trying to get a job within local bus routes but all i&#39;m getting is rejections.

atm, i have nothing. realistically i dont know if i would take the money, but i would spend the rest of my life thinking what if. i could do with a grand or two to pick me up but. i dunno... i&#39;d never get desperate enough to take it all cos lifes pretty boring without a challenge

I suppose I could, J&#39;Pol, call it my conscience.

What I do know for sure is it is that part of my mind that is buried very deeply under my conscious, logical, reasoning mind. And it doesn&#39;t matter how I rationalize with my conscious mind, make excuses for my behaviours, etc.....the part that I call my subconscious mind is watching and remembering. And I also know that what we hold in that subconscious mind, if kept in and not dealt with will eventually find it&#39;s way out, whether it be physically or what.

I guess conscience is a good word for it. I know parents guide and teach their children to have a good and moral conscience. But I somehow feel it is already there, within each of us. We learn and sort.

I also know that one of the worst things that lay in my conscience is when I judge others. I haven&#39;t found the words to explain this yet, but I know it. Eveyone has within them their own judge. That is enough.
