[QUOTE="Tovec, post: 5586372, member: 95493"] It is quite possible you don't. I wouldn't say this follows suit for the mass majority of people however. There is a reason why we have well defined "7 deadly sins" as many people do commit them regularly and as often as possible. Some people may be truly good or even lawful good but these are less common and certainly not the average. All examples I gave may be taken as Chaotic, yes, however if people are doing them and you say they are LG then my point still stands. If you are "mostly" following the laws but it is done out of being caught not out of moral duty and when the chance to get away with something occurs is taken then that would not make one LG. They may have started there but through their evil (sins) or chaotic (actions listed before) actions they become TN most of the time. When was the last time someone who would have made actual actions to become LG? Remember LG is an extreme in the alignment wheel. A person is more likely to be LN or NG than LG. At least according to the rules. Actual actions of the heroic and selfless LG alignment would include running into a burning building to rescue someone you don't know (ie. Firefighters without the job title) or giving shelter and a meal to a passing hobo (at least for the night)? They happen sure but they are rare, not everyday occurrences. At least not in Western society, I have very little experience beyond that. I know its in the tenants of several religions to do thse things and act a certain amount of LG but upholding all the "laws" of said religion is extraordinary even amoung the most devout I have ever met.
