How did aram justify mourad's action?
Answers
Answer
Aram was fond of horses and he also wants for riding on the horse. So Aram justifies himself that Mourad is not stealing for money it just for fun and after sometime we would return it to their owner.
At first, Aram is convinced that his cousin could not possibly have stolen the horse at all, because their family was renowned for their honesty and trustworthiness and would never do such a thing as steal. However, he is also aware that his cousin Mourad is poor and could not have bought the horse, which leads him back to the idea that it is stolen.
Aram justifies the act of stealing the horse to himself by deciding that taking a horse in order to go for a ride on it is not at all the same as stealing other, tangible things, "such as money." Having identified this as a mental justification, Aram goes further, questioning whether stealing a horse is really stealing at all if, like his cousin Mourad and himself, one was "crazy about" horses. He also determines that unless they decided to sell the horse for money—and thereby profit from the act of stealing—it was perfectly justifiable and not a criminal act, because the cousins would not be trading in stolen goods, but simply enjoying a horse for pleasure.
