Should people always do what is legal, or should they also consider what is moral?
When it comes to following the law versus following your moral compass, it can be a bit of a sticky wicket. On one hand, the law is the law, and breaking it can lead to some serious consequences. On the other hand, sometimes the law is just plain wrong. Take jaywalking, for example.
Is it really a crime to cross the street when there are no cars coming? Seems a bit silly if you ask me. So, should people always do what is legal, or should they also consider what is moral? It's a tricky question, and one that might require a bit of creative thinking. But hey, if you do end up getting arrested for jaywalking, at least you'll have a good story to tell!

I think you can safely bypass the law for a while, as long as it doesn't affect anyone, not even yourself if possible. After all, in Belgium, they can set some of them, of rules. Rules that do not apply at all in other European countries.
Without laws, all people would do what they want . So that's not good because so many people, so many opinions. But a legal law must also comply with morals
I chose legal, but I could also opt for moral. But had to make a choice between these two.
If there were no rules in the world, I think it would be a mess, I guess I'll hear a bit, I assume you'll agree with me too.?
Of course, it is not allowed to walk or drive a red light. But when I have to choose to make an emergency stop with a bus full of people or just go red.
