Sentiment: NEGATIVE
May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law.
Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.
Act so that the effects of your actions are compatible with the permanence of genuine human life.
Do whatever you will, but first be such as are able to will.
It is an endless and frivolous Pursuit to act by any other Rule than the Care of satisfying our own Minds in what we do.
Understand this law and you will then know, beyond room for the slightest doubt, that you are constantly punishing yourself for every wrong you commit and rewarding yourself for every act of constructive conduct in which you indulge.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
If the law is a bad law, there is always the contingent right to take action that you would not otherwise take.
Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.
No matter who you are or what you intend to do, you should not exceed the boundaries of the rule of law.
