Lying, Cheating, Stealing; Is It Ever Ethical?

I am Jeremy Benthlam borned in england February 15, 1748. I am best known for the father of utilitarianism. As you know I established a conecpt which sets legal basis. This means everything must be legally based on ones mind. Lying, Cheating, stealing; is it ethical to lie, cheat or steal and if so what would it be the circumstance?

According to the following ethical question I state that utilitarianism is based on moral acts that produces happiness for the people. Lying,cheating and stealing does not takes or relates to the principles of utiliatarianism. According to my theory this could be named as lack of ethics since there is no fundamental principles that contributes to utilitarianism. There is no promotion for the happiness of the people.Lying does not make people happy. Stealing or cheating does not make people`s happines and there is no virtue of utility.Lying, stealing, and cheating does not make people succeed in the different areas of our philosophical world. People now in days should make their own proper and correct things by themselves without stealing or cheating since it is for sure that the value of a thing or an action in this case stealing is determined by the basis of utility. Stealing is not a virtue, nor cheating or lying. None of this actions make people happy because the system of ethics is comformed according to the rightness actions of an individual whose goals is to make society feel better without suffering consequences judged by wrongness. Utilitarianism focuses on the making others feel good, therefore to lie, cheat or steal is not part of an ethical society. The consequences based on the actios of lying, cheating or stealing are judged by the lack of ethics that sorround a society. I am a legal theorist and eveything must be legal. Something that is or looks kind of illegal should not be let passed because it will affect the society and the future of a philosophical world. Therefore the basis of utilitarianism must not permit people to steal, cheat or lie.
