No, I don’t always care. If you dropped your wallet and I was short of cash, I might just keep it. The risk are low enough to be negligible that I’ll get caught, and I don’t care enough about you to feel bad about it.
But the one thing I couldn’t deny, is that I ought not have stolen it, and not from any lack of effort of my part, I acknowledge this as a truth, that the idea of denying it would be like denying I have two arms.
