We may be the most capable of evaluating our own needs, but if I feel, deep down, that I am justified in committing arbitrary murder this is no justification for such an action.
I did not talk about justification, and will never talk about it in the sense of good or bad actions. I think somewhere along the way we started mixing everything up because it's so difficult so say that something is either wrong or good if there are two sides of the story.

If i steal a stereo from you it can be to sell it and buy food from it. I think we must define a line between personal gain (like stealing) and all others(like helping).
