A few things to think about

Laws and rules

I was walking down a road and I found that every time the signal changed colours there would be those few people who would break the signal. Without bothering about there life or others life. Why is it that we humans love breaking laws, even if it means we put ourselves and/or our loved ones in trouble? We all just love doing it. I think after doing so one gets some sort of satisfaction and that satisfaction is what drives one to do it again and again.

I ofcourse picked up signal breaking but it could be anything right from breaking traffic rules, stealing murdering, even braking rules in the language. I bet that in all of my blogs I have broken many rules of the English language.

I must say though that there are a few people who know that they are braking a law, but don’t care. There are the second types who break the law but do not agree to having broken any law. I feel that the second types of people are even more dangerous.

The point that I am trying to make is that when we break laws and rules do we actually break them intentionally or unintentionally. I feel that most laws are broken intentionally to prove a point. It could also be to see if one can break a law and escape.

Ofcourse then there is the famous old question, are law breakers born as law breakers or do they become law breakers. If any of you have read Charles Dickensen's "Great Expectations" I feel that it truly raises this question and I feel that he even tries to answer it through Pip's benefactor the convict.
