Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

Yeah, I might have 😅, because sometimes in emergency situations we may have to break the law.

Suppose there’s an important meeting at the office. I’m running late, and there’s so much traffic on the road. I might have to move a little faster than the speed limit. If the signal turns red, I might carefully move forward and cross it. I’d still have to pay the traffic fine for breaking the rules, wouldn’t I? 😉

Of course, people do this intentionally even when there’s no real emergency.

If something important is at stake, we may end up breaking a rule in certain situations. But we should not do this intentionally every time.

Breaking out of the norm and rewriting history, this is what has often happened. Some famous people challenged pre-defined rules and made history for the greater good.

History shows this clearly, when Mahatma Gandhi defied British rule through non-violence, he broke the norm and led India toward freedom.
