Day Twenty-Two

According to the Romans, the basic principle of the law is that agreements should be respected under all circumstances. Do you agree with this? Is there a time in your life when you had to break this principle? When someone broke an agreement with you? Now write a story, poem or create an artwork where characters are forced to break this principle.

Do you want the short or long answer to this? Keep in mind that I put off writing my draft syllabus for a philosophical ethics course (I don't teach til next fall, but it's for a teacher training course now), in favor of writing this.

Regardless of my thoughts, Maedhros has his own unique take on the matter.

I loved what you did with this, Marta, especially Maedhros' thoughts on government and why the right did not belong to him. It was a great answer to the prompt.

Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

And I have to quickly comment--I did not know that you were a professor! How fun! And a lot of work I'm sure; good luck writing your syllabus, and good luck teaching the class. Those students will be lucky to have you :-)

I'm not one - yet. But these days those basic courses are often taught by us lowly grad students, and I teach my first next fall. I do want to be one eventually.

Thanks for the good luck. It actually went fine.
