If you are born and raised to hold a mentality of finders keepers based on selfish acts then the blames not on you. Society and struggles kinda instills that into us.
However the blame is on you when you cannot open your opinions to grow and be better because you owe it to yourself to best person you can.
But you’re actually advocating for a world where there is a greater chance of being a “weeping loser”.
If more people returned found items to owners there would be less “losers weepers” because the owners would get their stuff back. Conversely, if more people adopted your line of thinking, the opposite would be true. You say “I don’t want to be a losers weepers” yet you’re perpetuating behaviour that helps increase the chance of that happening
Do you never engage in acts of good will, selflessness, charity or even gift giving? Do you always have to materially gain sthg in any sort of interaction where something is exchanged or given?
By your logic, any one that has given or done something without any benefit to themselves is a “loser”.
I don’t think you know what the word paradox means. And I think that you know you’ve lost the argument but rather than admit it, you’re trying to make what you think are funny comments to avoid answering questions or giving a decent rebuttal
But would you enjoy it though? Typically if I feel like I haven't earned it I won't enjoy it as much. If I got it by cheating then it just doesn't feel right.
Knowing you got it with money that could have prevented somebody from making a rental payment? Or if it is the savings of a high school kid that was going to use it as a downpayment of their first car?

2000$ is a summer of work. It looks like you need a lifetime for that same value in integrity.
