Failure to give - the very nature go God is to give !!

Wickedness

Now that we understand the definition of righteousness, lets examine the opposite of righteousness, which is ‘wickedness’.

The one who is wicked will always take from others. In some cases this obvious. For example, a man who commits murder has taken another man’s life. A thief takes another man’s property.

There are other forms of wickedness that are not so obvious, but are still extremely wicked. Consider the one who sees the preparations for the Passover seder, yet remains seated and does not help out. This one has taken the labors and time of others. He has literally stolen a part of their lives. In this way we can understand that a lazy person is killing people in a very subtle manner.

If you examine every sin in the scriptures, you will find that at their root they are all ‘taking’ from either HaShem or from others. It is no exageration to say that those who do not give are wicked. To put it another way: The definition of wickedness is the taking of time, material, and labors of others. 

Failure to give is the very definition of evil!
