Is theft bad?
<|assistant|>
Yes, theft is generally considered to be wrong and morally objectionable, as it involves taking something that does not belong to an individual without their permission. Theft can cause harm, both economically and psychologically, and creates an unequal balance within society. Stealing may also lead to more serious crimes, making it an issue that society should address for the welfare of individuals and communities.
