Journal 22: When It is Okay to Break the Law

When is it ever okay to break the law? Well, I am not really sure when it is okay for us to break the law, unless we are well aware of the consequences that we will have to face after committing a crime. As it goes with the Romanticism style of writing where they deal with themselves and whatever they want, I think that they would be more willing and accepting to breaking the law, because it would deal with themselves more, and they would be doing what they want to do.

However, I believe that under most circumstances, breaking the law is always considered illegal. I believe that there are not many situations where actually breaking the law is okay, unless it is for the greater good for the people, and will benefit for better instead of worse. But, I think the criteria upon which the crime is being committed is the main focus for the people.

The thing that I do not get is that how people can commit crimes without being affected by their conscience. Because, I would always be scared that I would get caught, or if I did get away with it, then I would be scared of always getting caught. Plus, I would have the thought that I had done something wrong, and would know for the rest of my life that I had committed a crime. That's just me and my opinion though. But, I feel that that is a universal theme with most people who feel the same way about crime and not going against the governmental system set up to keep our country safe.

Therefore, I feel that breaking the law is bad, and unless the circumstances call for it, no one should break the law. That is my opinion though, although the romantics seemed to have a different opinion and were a lot more self centered, therefore more willing to break the law. That is why I will try not to break the law, no matter the circumstances.
