Consequences…
When do consequences come into play when an immoral act is committed? Is it right to allow such an act in the means of doing something morally acceptable. Many of us dont know where to draw the line when dealing with what our consequences may be when dealing with a ” not so immoral”, immoral act. For example if your cat was stuck at the top of a historic statue in your hometown and you trespassed the property and climbed up the statue to save your cat from killing itself, are you to be penilized for such an act? I feel that the only acceptable conclusion is that, sometimes we must cross the line of right and wrong and no matter what nobody will ever be morally correct.

I agree with your argument that people are sometimes ‘forced’ to cross the line if they feel that they are doing the right thing. But how you say it underlines the fact that we dont know what is right vs wrong. Because of course in the instance of the cat, i assume that the right thing would be to rescue the cat if that was means to cross the line of private property. I believe that people choose both right and wrong things all the time, and its very hard to determine of course what is right and wrong.
