Journal #26: Breaking the Rules

I cannot think of any situation that would be acceptable for someone to break the law. Breaking the rules could be a little bit different because that is not in violation of a state or federal law. I think that even if you are a single mom and you have kids that you are trying to feed. I think that the mom could have been able to ask someone else for help before she had to go steal food. I think that I would never find it acceptable for me to ever steal something. I believe that everyone has an equal opportunity to be successful in the world, so it would never be considered acceptable under my opinion. I can understand why some people do break the law, but I have to saw that I would never purposefully break the law just because I can. I would probably understand if someone had to steal medicine. Some people can not afford the medicine that they need to survive and I think that it is just unethical to make them suffer because they can't afford the medicine. There should be a charity that collects money to pay for drugs that the less fortunate people in our society need and can't afford. I think that the topic of this journal said something along the lines of breaking the rules and breaking the laws. There is a huge difference between laws and rules. I think that I could probably think of many times when I did something that I knew was breaking a rule, but I think that I can only come up with one time that I was doing something that would be considered against the law, but we are not going to talk about that! Anyway, I do think that it is okay to break the rules every once in a while because we are all human and nobody is perfect, but breaking the law just because you can is a totally different story.
