Ø How the attack triggered
Ø Hunan error is the main cause
Ø Protect against the attack
Moral
Reasoning: I
don’t think that steeling money can be a right thing from any point of view.
Dyre Wolf attack is used for only one reason to steel money. In life saving
moments steeling money can be forgivable but the stolen money is in millions.
So, there will be no space for arguments. Individual or organization make money
with their hard work, money is a kind of reward they achieve after putting their
efforts. Money become their property when they gained with their effort or
work. So, it is clear that no one has a right to steel someone’s property.
Philosopher:
John Locke (17th century, England)
“Though
the Earth, and all inferior Creatures be common to all Men, yet every Man has a
Property in his own Person. This nobody has any Right to but himself. The
Labour of his Body, and the Work of his hands, we may say, are properly his.
Whatsoever then he removes out of the State that Nature hath provided, and left
it in, he hath mixed his Labour with, and joined to it something that is his
own, and thereby makes it his Property. It being by him removed from the common
state Nature placed it in, hath by this labour something annexed to it, that
excludes the common right of other Men. For this Labour being the
unquestionable Property of the Labourer, no Man but he can have a right to what
that is once joined to, at least where there is enough, and as good left in
common for others.”
Contextualize: The philosopher clearly described
that the labor or work done by an individual or organization is totally related
to them and the reward attained from their labor is belong to them. In other
words, that will become their property. Steeling money is like steeling
property. If no one has a right to steel someone’s property and no one has a
right to steel other’s money. The money they gained from their hard work, labor
and the effort they make. So, it is a common right.
