Apart from every argument, that you take what you don’t deserve, that you should work, etc. The real reason you should stop is the following:

You will lose your life if you continue to do so. Incentives work. If you get money from activities that are not correlated with something productive, you will lose track of what you are good at, of what makes you different. This does not apply only to people that take government money, but to rich kids that stay on their parents' money, or anyone that found a method by which one can get resources and not do something productive. It’s such a same, and a curse, to be perfectly comfortable as you flush your entire potential into the black hole of inexistence. You’ve cut a large part of the motivation that you need to discover what you can do, to be proud of yourself, to be sure of yourself, to be happy. Don’t you see that unproductive people are not happy? Did you see people on welfare happy? Celebrities kids with all the money? Why do you think they do drugs all the time?

The first pillar of a happy life is to do work, good work, masterful work, your work. If you take this one out, your building won’t stand, it will buckle into depression, and all could be avoided by resisting the temptation to take what you have not earned. It seems to me that every immoral deed is punished, not by god, or by the government, or other people, no, by you. You destroy yourself, and in the moment it may seem good, “I got them, I fooled them”, yet, you will make yourself suffer in the long run. This is life, what you give is what you get. Give nothing and take, will destroy your capacity to be the best version that you can be. You will not know you and you will die a nobody. A stranger even for yourself.

Steem on!
