Life is governed by law and principles which a better understanding of them makes for living a great and well spent life. The truth about life is that each actions taken by an individual has consequences whether on the positive side or otherwise. It is true that there are challenges, problems, situations and circumstances in life that are unpalatable and needs urgent attention to salvage or find solution to such, however, i believe that this can only be achieved within the right ambience of the guiding principles of life or the law of the land because if others, it may be counted against such individual or group.
In life, good intentions for change or championing a move for a change is good, however, if this intention/zeal is not holistically sanitized with the right process/procedure as permitted, it can be evil spoken of or leads to an undesired end. Take for example, every citizen of a nation by the provision of the law ought to be well catered for and every leadership of a nation should lead rightly and justly upholding the tenets of integrity and fairness. However, what we now have is almost an opposite of this and the citizens are impoverished and groaning in pain and suffering because of selfish, corrupt leaders and system aswell.
However, many have championed a move to salvage this current situation which shows they have a good zeal and interest of the people at heart, though few are doing so for mundane reasons. However, many got it wrong by not circumventing their zeal and desire for the positive with a balance of knowing, following and observing right procedure or process within the permitted limit and hence, gone for it while some are conspirated against with the movement terminated and hence, no significant result achieved. Going by the saying: "Two wrongs can never make a right" and also: "we can't overcome evil with evil", therefore, in my personal view, i can't go enroute the path of negativity or doing a terrible thing to even "if" it will give most positive result.
I strongly believe that the only way to salvage or get solution to any problem, challenge or unpalatable situation is not to engage in evil (because the situation is not good itself), but to engage in something good to overcome it whether singly as an individual or collectively as a group within the available provisions and limits. Personally, i can't do a terrible thing to even if it will give the most positive result or "sacrificing" the few to save the millions beyond what I'm allowed to do by the law of conscience, by the law of life or by the law governing the land. Rather, in order to show my dissatisfaction against the pain/suffering and for the betterment of all, i would rather start from my reach and within my limit to kick start the desire change and i believe that others who believed in such will join and things will get better over time because: "Change starts with me".
In life, there are limits which is a fact we can't shy from and that justice must be upheld, therefore i will not chose an unjustified path in the name of change. Personally, i believe that change shouldn't be forceful or violent in that sense and moreover, i believe in the supernatural to intervene and cause some change as some change are beyond the natural which trying to do so might just be a futile endeavor.

I agree with you on the need to do things within the boundaries of the law, we can't keep going around taking actions because we want to achieve something good, in as much as it's bad or goes against the law, then regardless of it outcome, it'll still be deemed as bad.
Exactly brother 💯
Thanks for sharing in this view and for your insightful comments.
Understanding and recognizing such boundaries amidst desire for change will help alot.
Happy new month

You cannot always do things that follows and obey the law, sometimes you are forced to go against it.
