would you break the law for someone you love?

Well everyone would think it's a totally cliched question but honestly did you ever care to think about it? That sometime in your life you had to make that one crucial choice? would you really think that breaking out of the rules of the law even if you would have to be playing on the wrong ground would tantamount to a solid proof of how you really love someone? is that how love really should be measured? break the law and prove your loyalty to your loved one or prove your loyalty to the law and break your loved one?

I think the ‘Laws’ are made for helping us and surely not for giving trouble to us. In case of ‘love’ what would be there to break the ‘laws’. I think am not able to understand it well. But I guess, if it break the rules it means the person is in love with somebody else’s hubby/wife. I really don’t appreciate such kind of ‘love’. This is my personal opinion only. I know it is happening all over the world. Better not to break the rules because it has its own consequences.

I somehow share your opinion. and maybe sorry if I got you confused all the way. but What I'm trying to point out is both natural and divine laws. written or unwritten. whatever you think is right that you had to give up just for the sake of someone you love. I greatly appreciate that you do think of not having to tolerate such kinds of people. I think there are that is to love than just breaking laws, right?

It depends on what it is but I would break the law. But not to prove my loyalty only if I believe in it and it is to my opinion the right thing to do. There are rules who forbid freedom of speach, freedom to decide where and how to live, freedom of religion, etc etc.

good day otakumarie, with reference to your main topic, well, it is quite hard to break the rules or the law just for the sake of someone. however, if you are certain and so sure that you really loved your special someone, then it is better to go ahead rather than blaming yourself at the end. hence, when loving someone is not always a bed of roses.

There is a song that says: "Love can never be wrong when it's real." If you break a certain rule or law for the sake of someone you love, for me it is not love at all. In the Bible also it says that Love is never happy with evil. Breaking the law to prove your loyalty to someone is foolishness and not love. You're only falling out of love. When I was a teenager, I became dishonest to my parents because I always wanted to see my boyfriend without the knowledge of my parents. It's my way of showing loyalty to him even if I have to tell lies. In the end I realized that what I did was wrong. I realized, it's not love at all but selfishness and self-centeredness. I should have to wait for the right time, to be patient so that I will not suffer the consequences of my wrong doing. Every time we've done wrong for the sake of someone, there is a corresponding consequence and the consequence will not do good to you but harm. Therefore I don't like the idea that the proof of loving someone is to break some rules. It is foolishness.

I am not sure if I could say I would never do something wrong. Example, and this is the ONLY way it would happen... If my children were starving and I had no money to get them food, make no mistake...I WOULD GET THEM FOOD! But not to prove my love for them because they know I love them with all of my heart, I would do it so they would not be suffering. Under no other circumstances would I ever break the law... That is not the way to prove your love in my opinion. There are far better ways. =)

I would say that there should be determination and that passion of love that will work here if someone has to break a law or violate any law of the society or country as such. I think reason behind such thing should be just love and not that you need to prove your love or required to seek for attention from others. well I would go for it as I love the person and if anything or law is making my loved one suffer or causing pain i would definitely think of violating it not that every time you have this kind of challenge but yes if serious happenings demand me to take up such action i might go forward.

Depends on what kind of law I'm breaking I suppose. But honestly...Yeah, probably. Even though it's not right - I would pretty much do anything to protect the ones I care about!

No, I don't think I will. There's a lot of ways to prove my love, why should I route for that option? Love and loyalty have nothing to do with getting into trouble. I can't even steal from a shop, I don't think I am capable for something more than that. He's best find someone else if he's disappointed with me.

Hello otakumarie, Breaking law for love is certainly not the way to show loyality.I think one should not break law in any case even lovers too. Yes there are times when someone gets confused in situation to take decision but certainly one must not take any decision which may be unlawful and can create difficulties.
