I can't see how anyone who steals can possibly be happy. I mean, how can one live a fulfilled existence when they take other people's money or possessions for their own? How can one have a healthy self-esteem when they are taking advantage of people? How can they accept themselves as a good, decent person when they rob from others? A healthy self-esteem is essential for happiness.

It's sad that so many people go to their grave without a clue.

Beautiful answer that, once again, trashes the time worn notion that belief is God is the prime cause for a personal sense of ethics. Rick, you put so many people to shame, I admire you greatly. Your answer is more christian (I mean no insult by that) than many Christian answers would be.
