Does anyone want to obey the rules? Many of us do, most of the time, but then there are times ALL of us would like to violate the rules.
My friend makes me mad. I want to slap her face.
I see a beautiful gem in a setting in the display case and I wish I had that thing (yes, I admit, I love sparklies, though I'm very particular and the ones I love are rare) and I would very much love to take it but I don't.
The cashier gets confused giving me my change, and can't understand she should give me five dollars and not ten. I'd love to keep the five dollars.
But in all those cases I don't. Is it because I just stupidly obey rules? What if there were a rule to carry a gun and another to shoot any Jew I see. Would I obey that rule?
It's my sense of good and evil that makes me obedient, along with a lifelong desire not to do evil.
