Thievery
If we forget the purpose of human life and simply take supplies
from the agents of the Lord for sense gratification and become
more and more entangled in material existence, which is not the
purpose of creation, certainly we become thieves, and therefore we
are punished by the laws of material nature. A society of thieves
can never be happy, because they have no aim in life.
