Humans including myself are mostly shitty or juste pure evil. That’s why it makes sense to create rules to force ourselves to behave in ways that respect others.

An exemple is Iike to drive fast, it’s enjoyable but I don’t because we created rules to protect ourselves and others. We need to have reason to go against our wants.

But our current society literally rewards you for being shit.

I’m glad the people in your story got caught it would be better if more like these got punished instead of rewarded.
