TM 286: Under what circumstances, if any, is it okay to break the law?

I would really like to say there aren't any, that it's never okay to break the law. But not even I can say that in all honesty and not feel like I've just told a horrific lie.

I break the law. I break the law a lot and as much as I don't like it, as much as it does make me feel guilty, I still do it. Why? Because at times, it's the only way to get the information I need to help people.

So who died and made me the dispenser of justice and deciding what laws I'm above to do that? No one. And I wish I could justify it better, but I can't. I don't like the fact that I have to do things that are wrong in order to make things right. Sometimes I don't like that I have to be the one to make things right, period, but I do it because I'm usually the only one who can and I just can't stand by and let someone be hurt when I know I could stop it.

Maybe that will change one day. I hope it does. I hope I can start helping people while still abiding by the laws and rules of society that I expect everyone else to adhere to. Until then, I have to live with my hypocrisy and try to pretend it doesn't bother me as much as it does.
