Journal #26 - Breaking the Rules

Breaking the rules is usually a very bad thing, but sometimes it is necessary to break the rules. My favorite show is Desperate Housewives and on that show Gabrielle Solise played by Eva Longoria was raped by her step father as a teenage girl, but nobody ever did anything about it because they never believed her. The man is thought to be dead to Gabby and all of her family, but he shows up in her neighborhood and comes into her house after he is creeping around and he corners her and tries to threaten her and says he is going to do it again. She is obviously very upset and is crying when her husband Carlos comes in and sees it and is infuriated. He is trying to protect her and goes up behind Gabbys step father and he hits him in the head with a candlestick and he accidently kills him and then they hide the body. It is not okay for him to hide the body because that is concealing a crime, but he did not mean to murder this man. He was just protecting his wife. They should of handled the crime differently but the actual crime and committing the crime was actually somewhat okay. Another time when it would be okay to break the rules is if you were doing it for the common welfare of people and for the greater good of a community. Some people are terrible terrible people and do terrible things and sometimes they deserve to be punished. It is also okay if say a man's wife was dying of a cancer and the pharamacist would only sell him this medicine for a million dollars even though it was not worth anywhere near that. The man could steal the medicine if he was going to pay later in order to save his beloved wife's life. Some rules are actually meant to be broken under certain circumstances, but you must be very careful about breaking the rules.
