Action against another human without permission is stealing because the person has not given permission for another human to act against him or her. Every human life is a life of action. That action regarding other humans is either cooperation or conflict. In conflict there is a negotiation based on the reptilian brain, the limbic brain and the synthesis of the cerebral cortex which makes conflict fecund into civilized cooperation. Sometimes the cooperation is respect which is looking again at another.

Humans are a form of life in the universe that have conditions of natural law but also have the freedom of choice to act by being responsible for those actions. Any action against another human without permission is an act of violence. If the act is to protect one self then that is not an act against another but it is an act of care for one's self. The act of caring for one's self is force because it is every person's responsibility to protect his temple which is his or her body.

The act of written law is violence against another human because it is a means of controlling another human by a human. This control relationship is the nanny state which is a projection of humans who have never been raised by their parents. Parenting is the activity of preparing humans for their course in life by previously experienced humans. The transmission of human life from human life is the ultimate gateway of all life. It is the most difficult life to obtain and thus it is the most sacred to protect.

Adult humans have choice. They are part of the free market of life. This free market involves trade, cooperation, care and learning. Humans are in this world to be the observers of life. Humans are to be the builders of civilization. Civilization is not the great cities, governments, governors, judges or elite humans; civilization is the cooperation of humans irrespective of written laws, decrees or fiat statements.
