No, my comment merely launched from that particular story. I'm talking about you, me, and every other regular citizen.
There's absolutely, beyond any possible set of circumstances, even dire starvation, that you would never pick an apple off of someone else's tree, without asking permission first?
Many property laws have been waived at times, under circumstances which created a life or death situation. Every state court, and all federal courts have rulings recognizing dire circumstances as a defense against many types of crimes.
I merely brought out a Biblical story which illustrated just how close everyone is, even the best of us, to committing terrible acts, if pressured by dire circumstances.
Passenger plane wreck, high in the Andes mountains. Trapped, no rescue in sight, starvation looming. They ate the dead! Had you been there, you would have either eaten; or been eaten, after you starved to death.
