Civil Duty

One hot summer day it was possibly 92 degrees outside. I was on my way home but I had like two more miles to walk home. I was tired and thirsty so I just wanted to get home and rest. On my way I saw a bike that was just sitting there without any lock. It was nice and yellow, it had a rack on the back to hold my backpack, so I debated on taking it so I could get home faster. I would be able to get a drink, and get food. But I knew it was wrong, so I didn't take it I sucked up the next two miles. And it was a bike too like a fast on that doesn't take much effort to go fast. Immanuel Kant thought of the term Categorical Imperative, it's pretty much when you do things that you think you would want other people to do. Kant would think that in this situation the Categorical Imperative would be if I wanted people to just take my bike if I left it unlocked.
