mastering justification is a danger we should all avoid and a lesson we should learn from when it blows up in our face...

If you can not justify you will either be indecisive or make poor choices. What if the justification is truly valid?

Since we are talking about stealing:

Should it not be more towards: The mastery of justifying that behaviour which is deemed inappropriate by society as a whole and illegal by law...?
