Yep, I agree with you. Seeking others' validation for your actions, rule-breaking or not, has always seemed pretty pointless to me, because everyone has different values and views anyway. I've seen people become bitter and stressed out, because they constantly expect others to share their views, and so are constantly disappointed. Naturally I've done so occasionally myself, that's human nature. But generally I try to live my life without depending on the acceptance of others. Of course I'm also pretty reclusive by nature, so it's easy for me. Probably would be hard for very outgoing and sociable people.
