Let's say, for an example sake, that there is a flood in my

I have a family to feed. I break into a closed food store and
steal food. Have I committed an immoral act?

Yes. What is "moral" varies some in various religions and cultures,
but stealing isalmost universally regarded as immoral ("wrong"). A
moral person either anticipates needs, finds a moral way, or begs.

Few would not behave "imorally" if necessary to survive, but that
doesn't make it moral.
