There were times I chatted with some younger netizens about their behaviour on the net. They often wonder why they can't do this or that, in their own sense towards "freedom of speech". I gave them an example of crossing traffic light in a rural area where you won't see any cars in a distance of couple of miles. In this circumstance, almost 99% people would just cross the road regardless of the traffic light. However, it's still not right, legally speaking. Can we also do the same when we are in city? So a law is a law. It depends on our own sense to judge if we can do it or if our freedom would affect the others.
Today I encountered the 1% people in this remote town where there might be just a few cars running on the road once 20-30 minutes. I saw the workers from this construction site, walking a long way to the zebra crossing on the far end, and then walking back to the other side of the road. I hope I won't get challenged by those netizens about this fact of Japan.
